Colne: Railway north of Bridge 101
What used to be a busy double-track railway with through service to Skipton and connections to Scotland is now just a single line truncated at Colne, which supports an hourly service by 'Pacer' diesel train, all stations to Blackpool South. It is not surprising that most travellers prefer the comfort of their own private motorcar.

Terrace houses and moorland, Colne, Lancashire
The shop in the foreground is just across the far side of Colne Water, on the corner of Knotts Lane. The terraces catching the early morning sun are in Hawley Street and Khyber Street, while some expensive detached properties have recently been built behind, on the edge of the moor. Colne is a very ancient town, but now in the 21st century, it's a lively place with strong support for the arts, very little 'yobbish' behaviour, and with open countryside never far away.

Colne: Knotts Lane
Seen from the western end where it meets the A56. From here, Knotts Lane runs parallel to Colne Water, (which is on the left) until it meets Bridge Street coming downhill from Albert Road. At this point, Knotts Lane makes a sharp right turn, uphill and into the country.

Council van driving round in circles on a running track
I presume that this Lancashire County Council van was spraying something onto the athletics track. You can see Colne town centre behind.
