Mid-19th-century changes to the railway layout in northern Preston left the original terminus of the Preston & Longridge Railway on a short branch, where it survived as a coal yard until the 1990s. Although the line has since been disused, the rails still remain in situ for most of the way and are seen here crossing Deepdale Mill Street on the level. The later extension to Maudlands passed under this road just to the right of the picture and ran between the mosque and the terraced housing in the background.
