Interesting how the railway stationwas called Wilpshire & Ribchester when it's nowhere near Ribchester.
ReplyDeleteIf they had the current name, at least they'd only have been out by about half a mile instead of about three!
It says Wilpshire FOR Ribchester Phil. Folks back then didn't mind a walk;-)
ReplyDeleteIs it called Wilpshire & Ramsgreave now?
Oh yeah.
ReplyDeleteIt's called Ramsgreave & Wilpshire which figures as it's nearer to Ramsgreave than Wilpshire these days.
