Huncoat Plastic Brick and Terra Cotta Works
A map showing the network of mineral lines serving brick works and collieries between Accrington and Huncoat. These were extended over the years and in the 1950s were at their busiest although they declined rapidly in the 1960s. Huncoat Brick Sidings are at the bottom of the map opposite the cemetery. A fleet of 0-4-0STs, named Robin, Linnet, Lark, Raven and Kestrel, served these various branches. Note also the Aerial Ropeway down from the claypit bottom right, which was in use until the 1960s.
