Whalley, Broad Lane 1906

More about this scene
Here we have a grand view of the railway arches heading out of Whalley. The railway arrived in the village in 1850, and the 600yd-long viaduct carries the Blackburn to Clitheroe line through at a height of 70ft. This means that double-decker buses and coaches cannot head north out of Whalley towards Mitton. Whalley is just a village, though a large one; it is always high on the best-kept village awards list, a title which it has won in the past. The last Abbot of Whalley, a Cistercian monk, is thought to be buried in the parish church after being hung for opposing Henry VIII.
