[edit] Maudland Bridge or Maudland station

Does anybody know about a station called Maudland Bridge or Maudland?

According to a map of Preston dated about 1855 (published in Town and City Maps of the British Isles 1800-1855, by Ashley Baynton-Williams, 1992, ISBN 1 85891 039 0), there was a Maudland station at the junction of the Preston & Wyre line and the Preston & Lancaster line, and which appears to have been a terminus on the Fleetwood line.

Another WP editor has included Maudland Bridge on the Preston and Longridge Railway, which also joined the main line at that same junction (some time after 1855), with a station closure date of 1885.

I can't find any more information over the internet. --Dr Greg 13:20, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
