Ribbleton [1st]
Open for three years, and closed for over one hundred and forty, the platform of the first Ribbleton station still lies in the undergrowth alongside the old trackbed. Now completely surrounded by houses it was obviously less well placed when it opened in 1863 and closed in 1866, although it apparently saw occasional use for the nearby Fulwood Barracks thus ensuring the platform's survival. View along the Longridge branch cyclepath trackbed towards Ribbleton (Gammer Lane) about half a mile from here See image 19385 beyond which the line continued to Longridge itself.
