Huncoat Plastic Brick and Terra Cotta Works
Just beyond the boundary (pun intended) of Accrington Cricket Club there was a junction on the mineral line to the Accrington Brick and Tile Works where, in the early 20th Century, a link was put in to the Whinney Hill (plastic) brick works, which continued to Huncoat Colliery and station. The later line has mainly disappeared under industrial buildings although beyond Whinney Hill a substantial embankment is still in place on the old route to Huncoat. This is the site of the junction, a few hundred yards from the L&YR exchange sidings.
