150144 Salwick 15 February 1992

150144 passes Salwick No.2 Signal Box on 15 February 1992 with the 17:14 Manchester Victoria to Blackpool North Regional Railways service. The box was demolished with the resignalling and electfrication of the line in 2017. In the years after this picture was taken a portakabin just in front of the box, and a tall radio mast behind, somewhat spoiled this view. The blocks of flats visible in the distance were situated in Moor Lane, Preston. They were built in 1962, and like a lot of such buildings from that era, suffered from poor workmanship and asbestos contamination. They were therefore demolished on 25 November 2001.
