Preesall
A slight rise in the road and these typically KER concrete gate posts mark the site of Green Dick's Crossing, almost mid way between Preesall and Pilling stations (Map Ref SD 384475). This view looks east towards Carr Lane Halt See image 28773 and Pilling in October 2018 but, 68 years after final closure, the trackbed has disappeared into the farmland. Behind the camera a crossing keeper's cottage still stands but heavily modified and extended. Passenger trains only ran on the Pilling to Knott End section of line from 1908 to 1930 with a sparse freight service continuing until 1950.
