The former village public house,just under the bridge on the left,was originally the Railway Hotel, recalling the days when Stubbins had its own station and where the branch lines split in two. One branch of the line,running over the bridge, is still used by the East Lancashire Railway Co. http://web.archive.org/web/20080318121242/http://east-lancs-rly.co.uk/?p=history&m=43 which run regular steam services between Rawtenstall and Bury. The second branch line Image now provides an attractive walk and cycle way to Irwell Vale.
