Rana Temporia Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sxbiker Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 I think it could be York. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ73 Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Hiya RanaI've done a quick 'Picture search' & guess what - loads & loads of similar photos came up - had a quick look through a few 100's but it could be any where I'm afraid!!! 🤔🚂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Spare Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Could it be Rose Grove at Burnley? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordonvale Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 @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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going Spare Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 I have found a 2021 thread on RMWeb entitled "LMS 'Ferro-Concrete Coaling Towers and Ash Plants" in which one of the posts lists their locations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
