17 vintage photos of stations and steam trains from Burnley's railway heritage

This week we’re wheeling back in time with 17 vintage photos of stations and steam trains from Burnley's railway heritage.

The images are part of the county council’s Keeping East Lancashire in the Picture, a two-year Lancashire Archives volunteer project bringing together people of different ages and backgrounds to digitise and make the collections of historic photographs in Burnley, Colne, Nelson and Accrington libraries more accessible, inclusive and sustainable. The project is funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund and the Friends of Lancashire Archives.
