Lancaster [1st]
The view out from the rear of the original terminus of the Lancaster and Preston Junction Railway, only used as such from 1840 to 1849. The old trackbed area is now occupied by relatively modern hospital buildings. Of interest is what appears to be a stable block, possibly associated with the railway station but also probably used after that time when the station building became a private home. The old station was given to the Lancaster Infirmary as a Nurses' Home in 1924. This view looks south and the goods yard that survived the station closure until the 1960s was just beyond the far buildings. The stables building fronts onto the A6 main road immediately south of the city centre. Photo taken with the kind permission of the Morecambe Bay Hospital Trust Estates Department.
