Withnell
Withnell station closed in 1960, although goods trains from Blackburn to Chorley and Wigan continued to pass through for a further six years. The station is actually on the outskirts of Abbey Village rather than Withnell and the bridge in the background carries the A675 Preston to Bolton road. The station is now a private residence as seen in this view towards Feniscowles and Cherry Tree Junction. (Map Ref SD 639228) The old trackbed can be walked from here in the direction of Chorley as far as Brinscall station site.
