Ah, okay. I was looking at the wrong place on the map!

I'm in the area a fair amount, and know a few people there, so I might have an ask around and see what I can find out.


I live not to far from Chappel and can remember that the bridge in question was backfilled by the council as one of the parpit walls was in a very poor condition and collapsed.
When I first moved there with my parents (many Moons ago) there used to be an old fuel storage depot opposite the bungalow which I would Imagen that it was used for aviation fuel as there was a siding to the north of the station where the railway fuel tanks were discharged. I am trying to locate images of the site.

Sorry If I have hi-jacked this thread.

Thanks for the additional information Terry.

Yes, an Aviation Fuel Distribution Depot was located at Wakes Colne railway station during WW2 and I note that you have spotted the appropriate AiX thread so I shall move across.
