Brinscall railway station was a railway station that served the village of Brinscall, Lancashire, England.
History
The station was opened by the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway. It was on the Blackburn to Chorley Line. On 4 January 1960 the station closed to passengers,[1][2] although goods traffic survived until 1966.[3] No trace of the station now exists due to redevelopment which lowered the land level and subsequent property (bungalow) construction. However, a very small section of stone wall at the one time goods yard entrance is still visible.
