The Preston and Longridge railway eventually became jointly owned by the London & North Western and Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway Companies. The line passed under Deepdale Road near the junction with Barrow Road but the railway company owned a small piece of land at the road junction behind their bridge parapet and the outer row of stones, suitably initialled, were laid to define their property boundary. The four grey panels in the inner vee, inscribed with fish, flowers and castle sketches, are a recent addition as part of a community project to improve the appearance of the area.
