Boundary markers in Deepdale Road
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.

Deepdale No 3 Tunnel, Preston
The Preston & Longridge Railway was opened in 1840, the primary purpose for its promotion being to carry stone from Longridge Fell for use in public buildings in Preston and the docks at Liverpool. From its terminus on the banks of the Lancaster Canal at Maudlands it ran through a series of closely-spaced tunnels totalling half a mile in length under Deepdale. This is the easternmost portal of the tunnels, taken from St Pauls Road bridge. The line, which latterly served a coal yard at Deepdale, has been disused for a number of years but there is still a single line of rails beneath the grass. Just visible in the far background above the tunnel is the spire of St Walburge's Church, possibly the tallest church spire in Preston.

Deepdale Road by the Deepdale Enclosure
The green space on the right is a longstanding area of common land, and fine Victorian houses were erected around it, such as Stephenson Terrace on the left. It is now a Conservation Area.
