Bradkirk Junction

The exposed bricks in this field at Bradkirk reveal that this wasn't always the rural location it is now. The brickworks that operated here had buildings on either side of the siding. The siding linked in to the Bradkirk to Wrea Green line that followed the line of trees through the filled in cutting. The brickworks appears to have closed around the time of WWII. The operational line to Blackpool North, and Bradkirk footbridge, are just behind the camera. c1900 map insert reproduced with the permission of the National Library of Scotland http://maps.nls.uk/index.html
