Along The Viaduct: Helmshore and its train line
Helmshore Mills Textile Museum, Holcombe Road, Helmshore, Rossendale, Lancashire, BB4 4NP
When the foundation stone was laid for the viaduct in Helmshore in 1847, nobody could predict the impact it would have on this small village or how the train line would change the landscape of the Lancashire cotton industry. Come with us down the viaduct as we delve into the rich economic and social history of Helmshore's train line. From an invaluable commercial link, to a brutal train crash, to its present day revitalisation, this ever present landmark has history as long and winding as the track itself.
