ON September 8th, 1962, our Whalley Station was closed to passenger traffic after 112 years of service to the public. Goods trains continue to


rattle over the arches but, very shortly after, the goods department also ceased to function. Build­ ings were demolished and, as a busy, sometimes hec­ tically so, vital part of the community, the station no longer existed. Lately, through the
