Preston

This superb stone bridge carried the East Lancashire line out of Preston and I travelled over it many times before it closed in 1972, when trains were diverted to run via Farington Curve. A low December sun illuminates the patterns in the stonework, the craftsmanship reflecting its position separating two adjacent public parks. This view looks from Avenham Park into Miller Park, which sits between this railway and the WCML.
