Hurst Green Cutting
The story of the abortive main line through Ribblesdale to Yorkshire has a full chapter in David Hindle's excellent book 'All stations to Longridge'. 15,000 cubic yards of material were removed from the isolated double track cutting at Hurst Green before work was abandoned in 1848. At both ends of the cutting there are steeply sided deep valleys that would have required substantial viaducts to cross. This view looks towards Clitheroe on 22nd June 2020 - map reference SD682369.
