Originally, a terminus for the Preston &amp; Wyre Railway branch line from Kirkham, it opened in 1846 on Station Road. This original station was later replaced by a new terminus on Ballam Road in 1863 for the Blackpool &amp; Lytham Railway. Finally, a connecting line was built in 1874, transforming the station into a through station and leading to the closure of the original Station Road location for passenger service, though it continued as a goods yard until 1963.<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12800\"
