Halton railway station and goods shed Situated on the ‘Little’ North Western Railway line from Skipton - Morecambe, one stop from the company’s Lancaster station. The line left what would eventually be the Ingleton Branch at Clapham Junction. A later joint line to Carnforth left at Wennington, which is the line that remains in use today for Leeds - Lancaster services. Absorbed into the Midland Railway, the station was burned down in 1907 having been set alight by a spark from a Heysham - St Pancras boat train. The buildings are used today by Lancaster University boat clubs. Closed 1966.
