The branch from Preston to Longridge opened 1840, is 6 1/2 miles long.
There are three tunnels (from west to east) Deepdale 160yds,
Miley no1, 272yds and no2 383yds.
Theres a 100yd cutting with retaining walls between Deepdale and Miley tunnels,
held by concrete or wood braces due to subsidence.
the air shaft between Miley no 1 and no 2 is capped with concrete,
to support the police station.
Theres a single track in situ at the left side of the tunnel but very overgrown, closed 1980.
