Ribbleton [1st]

If some people didn't use it as a linear rubbish dump the old Longridge line would be quite a pleasant route through the Preston suburbs. This is the view towards Preston, under Cromwell Road bridge, from the original Ribbleton station. In June 2010 it will be the 80th anniversary of closure to passenger trains, although coal to Red Scar kept the tracks in use for another fifty years until around 1980.
