Can anyone identify this photo?

I have come across this photo while sorting out some of my late father’s models, he must have put it there for a reason and it will be one he took. I would have thought it was Bolton or Wigan but don’t think it’s either. I did think Carnforth but that doesn’t look right either.

Lots of detail for the modeller with the water tank, signals and lamps!

@GS definitely not Rose Grove. Where the line diverges right (Gannow Junction) towards Burnley Manchester Road and Copy Pit it was 2 roads bordered by a grassy embankment. The "straight on" was 2 roads towards Burnley Barracks and Burnley Central. My first recollection of it would be dated early 1950s.


Map of Preston station 1923. Looking to the right edge from Station Approach could match the OP photo looking from the bottom up.
