Padiham: Former railway bridge
The railway at Padiham was the Great Harwood Loop, which ran from Blackburn to Rose Grove providing an alternative route between these places. It closed for passenger services many years ago, even before Beeching, but the Padiham to Rose Grove bit survived much longer for coal traffic to a power station. This loop would have been ideal for a light-rail conversion. The bridge remains as it is part of a traffic-free cycleway.

Padiham: The 'Railway'
There is no railway here now, but the name is retained by the pub. Added railway connection is provided by the Network Rail employee who has just parked his van outside - but he was just coming home for his lunch!
