History
The railway line between Blackburn (Bolton Road) and Bolton was built by the Blackburn, Darwen and Bolton Railway, but it had amalgamated with the Blackburn, Clitheroe and North Western Junction Railway to form the Bolton, Blackburn, Clitheroe and West Yorkshire Railway by the time that the first section, from Blackburn to Sough, including the station at Lower Darwen, Lua error in Module:Convert at line 452: attempt to index field 'titles' (a nil value). from Blackburn, was opened on 3 August 1847.[2][3] The station was closed on 3 November 1958[4] by British Rail, and subsequently was demolished.
Lower Darwen motive power depot, which closed in the 1960s, was located to the north of the station, near the Ewood area of Blackburn.[5]
Location
The station was located to the north of the B6231[6] Fore Street, which the railway crosses on Rakes Bridge.
Site today
The line on which the station was situated remains open with services between Clitheroe/Blackburn and Manchester Victoria being operated by Northern Rail.
