Remember what the preamble said about the other side of Preston

 

[DerekC]

Preston Maxwell House

Sorry about that - at the start of the journey I copied the preamble into a Word file (to avoid having to keep jumping pages) and that bit got left out somehow. The 1849 map is unfortunately the oldest available, by which time Maxwell House had been closed so it wasn't possible to work out where the platforms were.

Lea Road

Preston Maxwell House

The preamble of this present journey specifically made an embargo note about that station (as it was situated on the lines leading to Lancaster on the other side of the running lines to those of the Preston and Wyre Joint Railway)
