Chronological List of the Railways of Lancashire, 1828-1939 CHRONOLOGICAL LIST OF THE RAILWAYS OF LANCASHIRE, 1828-1939 BY M. D. GREVILLE In addition to previously published data, I have consulted official and Rail­ way Clearing House records, local and railway press, and Bradshaw's Manual. There is often a bewildering discrepancy in dates in railway records, especially the older ones. Every effort has been made to establish the correct dates, and when this has not been possible from contemporary references, I have shown the ones which, taking all circumstances into consideration, seem the most likely to be accurate. Closing of lines and withdrawal of passenger services are noted only up to the outbreak of war in September 1939. The closing dates given are those for the last days on which trains ran. The railways have been grouped under the following headings and subheadings: 1 LONDON, MIDLAND & SCOTTISH RAILWAY A London & North Western Railway and Components B Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway and Components C Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway and London & North Western Railway Joint Lines D Midland Railway and Components E Furness Railway and Components F Furness and Midland Joint Line G Knott End Railway 2 LONDON & NORTH EASTERN RAILWAY GREAT CENTRAL RAILWAY AND COMPONENTS 3 VARIOUS AND INTER-GROUP JOINT LINES A London & North Western Railway and Manchester, Sheffield & Lincolnshire Railway Joint Lines B Cheshire Lines Committee C Sheffield & Midland Joint Lines D Mersey Railway E Liverpool Overhead Railway 1.

  • The Carrying Trade and the First Railways in England, C1750-C1850
    The Carrying Trade and the First Railways in England, c1750-c1850 Carolyn Dougherty PhD University of York Railway Studies November 2018 Abstract Transport and economic historians generally consider the change from moving goods principally on roads, inland waterways and coastal ships to moving them principally on railways as inevitable, unproblematic, and the result of technological improvements. While the benefits of rail travel were so clear that most other modes of passenger transport disappeared once rail service was introduced, railway goods transport did not offer as obvious an improvement over the existing goods transport network, known as the carrying trade. Initially most railways were open to the carrying trade, but by the 1840s railway companies began to provide goods carriage and exclude carriers from their lines. The resulting conflict over how, and by whom, goods would be transported on railways, known as the carrying question, lasted more than a decade, and railway companies did not come to dominate domestic goods carriage until the 1850s. In this study I develop a fuller picture of the carrying trade than currently exists, highlighting its multimodal collaborative structure and setting it within the ‘sociable economy’ of late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century England. I contrast this economy with the business model of joint-stock companies, including railway companies, and investigate responses to the business practices of these companies. I analyse the debate over railway company goods carriage, and identify changes in goods transport resulting from its introduction. Finally, I describe the development and outcome of the carrying question, showing that railway companies faced resistance to their attempts to control goods carriage on rail lines not only from the carrying trade but also from customers of goods transport, the government and the general public.

Clarke Above: A strengthened Northern Rail service makes its way across Whalley Viaduct Below: An unidentified class 150/2 heads towards Manchester Victoria with a lunch-time service from Clitheroe B. Haworth 2 From the Chair As we are aware, the new Northern franchise will commence in early 2016, and the consultation process has begun.The Government has decided to keep the two separate franchises with Trans Pennine Express offering the express services in the region. They are also looking to transfer into the Northern franchise some services operated by another franchise and these include the Oxenhlme – Windermere service. Consultations such as these can be seen as either a challenge or a threat and in our response RVR will use this opportunity to seek for enhancement of services, rolling stock, connectivity and station facilities. The document can be found at: www.gov.uk/government/consultation/future-of-northern-transpennine-express-rail-franchise We have seen changes in staff on the line with John Ryan replacing Stephen Curry as our Station Manager,and we hope to meet him shortly at one of our RVR meetings. I had the pleasure of travelling on the 25th Anniversary Train from Leeds to Carlisle on Friday 11th April to celebrate the saving of the Settle to Carlisle Line. It was a superbly organized event with a packed train enjoying the scenery. Full details later in the magazine.

  • Report Of: Executive Manager Community Services
    AGENDA ITEM: 6/16 CABINET: 15 June 2010 Report of: Executive Manager Community Services Relevant Portfolio Holder: Councillor A Fowler Contact for further information: Mr S Kent (Extn. 5169) (E-mail: [email protected]) SUBJECT: USE OF SECTION 106 MONIES IN BANKS, HESKETH BANK AND WRIGHTINGTON Wards affected: North Meols, Hesketh with Becconsall, Wrightington 1.0 PURPOSE OF THE REPORT 1.1 To consider requests from North Meols, Hesketh with Becconsall, and Wrightington Parish Councils regarding the use of monies received by the Borough Council from housing developers for the enhancement of public open space and recreation provision in their Parishes. 2.0 RECOMMENDATIONS TO CABINET 2.1 That the projects detailed in section 6 of this report be approved and the Section 106 sums of £104,510 for North Meols, £93,250 for Hesketh with Becconsall ( £29,400 from available funds and £63,850 when available from funds due), and £81,710 for Wrightington be made available to the respective Parish Councils for their projects. 2.2 That the commuted sums be paid to the respective Parish Councils subject to them entering into suitable legal agreements with the Council. 3.0 BACKGROUND 3.1 Members will recall that under policy LE.13 of the local plan developers must provide open space facilities as part of housing developments. Where developments are less than 20 dwellings or on sites where it is nor reasonable to expect a developer to provide on-site facilities, and where there is a deficiency of open space, the Council can require a commuted sum for the provision and maintenance of improvements to nearby open space or for the creation of new leisure related facilities in the area.

  • Shoreline Summary
    HESKETH WITH BECCONSALL PARISH COUNCIL Shoreline Summary Edition Number 23 ~ April 2011 Spring has arrived at last – it doesn’t mean the end of the cold and wet weather but it does mean longer days with a promise of warmer weather and sun shine to come. Hesketh Bank Allotments Update Hesketh Bank Allotments and Leisure Gardeners Association are delighted to announce that the beginning of April saw the newly created Hesketh Bank Allotments site fully open to all plot holders. With the much needed support from our very committed local sponsors the former ‘Poor Marsh’ site has been transformed into the brand new Hesketh Bank community allotment site. With a total of 57 large plots and some smaller raised beds it is set to become one of the largest community allotment sites in West Lancashire and is a great asset for the village. In these times of austerity and with the demand for growing space at an all time high this is a magnificent achievement and is a symbol of the air of optimism within Hesketh Bank. HBALGA have worked tirelessly with the Parish Council for over 2 years to create a space where local residents can grow their own fruit and vegetables and the 17 lucky plot holders who were able to move on site in June last year are starting to see all their hard work paying off. On the plots you can tell that Spring has most certainly ‘Sprung’ and there is a real feeling amongst many that the village is truly beginning to sprout new shoots of growth in all aspects.

  • Ribble Valley Settlement Hierarchy
    RIBBLE VALLEY SETTLEMENT HIERARCHY Executive Summary Observations The summary below is derived from the more detailed analyses of the contextual and demographic data set out in Appendix 1 and the local services and facilities data described in Appendix 2. • Clitheroe stands out as the most significant settlement within the Borough, with the best provision of services and facilities • The next two settlements, Longridge and Whalley also stand out from all other settlements in terms of provision across all the various service and facilities categories. While Whalley is smaller than some other settlements, such as Langho and Wilpshire, they have significantly poorer service and facility provision. In Wilpshire’s case this could be due to the services in the area falling into adjacent parts of Blackburn. • Eleven settlements clustered towards the bottom of the hierarchy all scored poorly across nearly all categories. These are: Osbaldeston, Tosside, Copster Green, Pendleton, Sawley, Calderstones, Newton, Wiswell, Rimington, Worston and Holden. Only in terms of community facilities did a few of this group, Pendleton, Newton and Rimington, have good or reasonable provision. This leaves 21 remaining settlements within the hierarchy with a spectrum of provision between these two extremes. There are no significant “step changes” within this group, however those towards the top of this group, scoring 20 and above points were considered the initially most likely to possibly act as more local centres. It could be argued that this 20 point limit is somewhat arbitrary however. • This group contains: Langho, Mellor, Chatburn, Ribchester, Waddington, Dunsop Bridge and Sabden. Most of this group, perhaps unsurpringly, have relatively large populations of over 1000, with only Waddington and Dunsop Bridge being smaller.
