Red Rock
When a railway runs from Boars Head Junction to Red Rock and White Bear you would be forgiven for thinking it was in North America rather than Lancashire. This is Red Rock station, closed in 1949, and the trackbed can be walked from here to White Bear in Adlington. Photographs from operational days show the station building here was very similar to that at White Bear 76459) but at Red Rock it has been greatly extended as part of a home and is seen here in May 2021. A car park in the Red Rock goods yard assists visiting the old line, which once formed a direct route from Wigan to Blackburn.
