Bolton-le-Sands Railway Station
Bolton-le-Sands railway station served the village of Bolton-le-Sands, Lancashire, England, from 1847 to 1969 on the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway.
History
The station opened as Bolton on 7 August 1847 by the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway. Its name was changed to Bolton-le-Sands in 1861 to avoid confusion with other stations of the same name that were open around this time. The station closed on 3 February 1969. The footbridge survived until 2003.
