Bamber Bridge Station

Bamber Bridge station is on the line between Preston and Blackburn. There is a busy level crossing at the eastern end of the platforms. Note the steel work that is currently necessary to support the signal box.

The Lancs & Yorks, Bamber Bridge

Passengers from Preston arriving at Bamber Bridge station might find the Lancs & Yorks pub very convenient for a stop off on the way home. Its story is an unusual one. For many years known as the Lancashire and Yorkshire (later shortened to Lancs & Yorks), taking its name from the company that ran the adjacent railway, it closed in 2013. The building was then divided into two retail units and it looked as though it had joined the ever-growing ranks of former pubs forever. However, eight years later in 2021 one of the units reopened as a microbar, taking the old name, and now appears to be thriving with regular live music and other entertainment - good news indeed for those who love the institution of the British pub. This photograph shows it as it was in 1992 when it was a William Younger's house and looked smart: SD5625 : Lancs & Yorks, Bamber Bridge. 20 years later, shortly before closure, it was beginning to look distinctly down at heel: SD5625 : Lancs & Yorks, Bamber Bridge.

McNamara Gardens, Bamber Bridge

The somewhat strange-looking tree sculpture on a patch of dandelion-covered grass constitutes a memorial to John McNamara, a local man who was awarded the Victoria Cross in the First World War. A tree design was chosen because the name Bamber Bridge derives from the Old English 'bēam' and 'brycg', meaning a tree-trunk bridge.
