Brierfield

Opened as Marsden but renamed Brierfield in 1857. The 1876 signal box survived for a long time to operate the full barrier crossing, which is on a steep hill and busy road but was closed in 2014 and quickly demolished. When this was a double track main line there was a further box, just by the curve in the distance, known as Brierfield Goods Yard. View towards Burnley on a wet, dreary July day.
