Longridge (Lancashire)
Beyond Longridge station a freight only line continued towards Tootle Heights where it split into two short branches. One line turned east and passed through one quarry and then a tunnel See image 18528 into Tootle Height Quarry itself. The second branch went north east to Lord's Quarry and, although it closed around the time of WWI, part of the trackbed lies in a recreation area and can still be followed to the old quarry as seen here. Map Reference SD 611380. The half mile or so of trackbed between here and the old passenger station site has disappeared under housing developments.
