Whittingham Hospital
1:25000 map extract from around 1950 showing the entirety of the Whittingham Hospital Railway. At the bottom is the junction at Grimsargh, where the coal traffic for the hospital boilers came in and the CMHW branch station was situated. At the hospital itself the passenger trains stopped at a station just outside the complex but the line to the engine shed and across the gardens to the boiler house can also be seen. There were some earthworks on the branch but the major structure was the skew bridge over Brabiner Lane. This caused road traffic problems and was removed not long after the 1957 closure. The line to Longridge, just off the top right hand corner of this map, is also shown. Added by Mark Bartlett.
