Haslingden
Until 1960, this view down Station Rd in Haslingden would have been towards the railway goods yard with the station entrance just off to the left (See image 82393). Half a mile from, and 75' below, Haslingden town centre meant that the station could not compete with frequent town centre buses and it closed to regular services six years before the Accrington to Bury line closed to passengers (although summer excursions continued to call). The station building and platforms survived to around 1970, but all trace was swept away by the dual carriageway that now runs through the site.
