A BIT OF OLD CARNFORTH IN 1870
This picture of Carnforth Station, taken about 1870, is hardly recognisable by the present generation. Showing the top-hatted stationmaster and bearded railway servants and the old-fashioned locomotive drawn up against what is to-day the principal arrival platform for north-bound trains The platform on the right is now entirely covered and is the departure platform for the south. The little wooden hut was the Post Office in those days, the ironworks chimney can be seen in the background, the only landmark which hasn't changed is the road bridge. Lancaster Guardian and Observer, Friday 21 January 1949
