Another view, showing the opposite side. The signal box would be on Station Road. New Bridge had not yet been built of course.
The Railway pub would be on the right (later known as The Sirloin)
My great-uncle, Tom Windle, was a booking clerk at Hoghton Station. He married the stationmaster's daughter, Annie Crankshaw.
Hi, I wonder if you have any photos of Annie Crankshaw's family. Her mother Rachel (nee Holding) was my Great x 3 grandfather's niece. I only found out about the Crankshaw connection very recently.
