Still Standing! Darwen tram shelters

3.darwenshelter-db

The tram waiting shelter in Hoddlesden village, where the trams arrived from Darwen down the road on which the cars are parked. The millstone in the foreground acts as a reminder of the village’s industrial heritage. From 1876 a 3km freight-only standard gauge branch railway also served Hoddlesden, closing between 1950 and 1962. (All Photographs by Donald Brooks, 22nd November 2018)
