The station at Lea Road closed in 1938 but 80 years later the bricked up entrance to the island platform can still be seen. Only the (rebuilt) central span carries tracks now. Lea Road station was originally in open countryside some distance from Lea but the Preston suburbs have grown outwards and beyond it in the intervening years. [Ref query 7 October 2018]
