Whittingham Hospital
Whittingham Hospital passenger station was accessed by a flight of steps that climbed up the left hand side of the bridge abutment seen here. The station was a small but ornate structure with a glass canopy and screens but closed in 1957 and all that remains are a few concrete blocks that used to support the platform and some crumbling brickwork around the old waiting area. Only goods trains continued over the bridge into the hospital yard See image 33027. View towards Grimsargh from alongside the old railway weighbridge office at the yard entrance.
