Originally a Commissioners' church http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commissioners%27_church built in 1835-6, the chancel was enlarged and a vestry was added in 1871-2. The church closed in 1990 and became derelict in 1991 following fire damage. It was restored and converted into flats in 1993.

Entrance to Burnley Barracks Station, Junction Street
Burnley Barracks is an unmanned railway station on the East Lancashire Line, ½-mile west of Burnley Central railway station.
The station originally opened on 18 September 1848 as the terminus of the East Lancashire Railway, closing a year later when the Colne extension opened. However, the surrounding area developed quickly with industry, housing and the cavalry barracks, which led to the station being reopened in 1851.
Extensive demolition of the nearby high density Victorian terraced residential areas during the 1960s and 70s, led to a significant decline in the area’s population and, consequently, the use of the station. The line was made single track in 1986 and the station made a request-only stop in 2012. Currently Northern trains provide an hourly service from Burnley Barracks to Colne (eastbound) and Blackpool South via Preston (westbound) on weekdays (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burnley_Barracks_railway_station Wikipedia).

Burnley Barracks Station
It is hard to believe that this rather charmless station was once the terminus of the East Lancashire Railway before it was extended to Colne. It was reduced to a single platform in 1986 and became a request stop in 2012. Facilities are basic with a simple shelter and a set of just three seats. Nevertheless, usage is steadily growing each year. See Image which shows the station as it was in 1962 (looking in the opposite direction) when it was a much more substantial affair.
