Places to see in ( Carnforth - UK )
Carnforth is a small town and civil parish near Lancaster in the north of Lancashire, England, situated at the north east end of Morecambe Bay. Due to the closeness of the coast and the hills, Carnforth is a popular base for walkers and cyclists exploring the area. The River Keer, the West Coast Main Line (WCML), the A6 and the Lancaster Canal pass through the town. The M6 motorway passes just to the east, linked to Carnforth by the A601(M).
In the 19th century, Carnforth grew from a small village into a railway town when it became the junction of three major railways. With the closure of Carnforth MPD in 1968, the railway station facilities were reduced – the main line platforms were closed in May 1970 and subsequently removed when the line was electrified two years later.
In 1945, Carnforth railway station was used as a set for the David Lean film Brief Encounter, starring Celia Johnson and Trevor Howard. Fans of this film were one of the major factors in the recent refurbishment of the railway station, including construction of a refreshment room to match the studio set used in the film, which is now run by the Carnforth Station Trust.
Much of the history of Carnforth revolves around the railway and ironworks. Vast deposits of limestone located locally made Carnforth an ideal place for an ironworks, as limestone is a key component of the smelting process. In 1846 the Carnforth Ironworks Company established a works, located near the railway station. In the same year a recession occurred in the Earl of Dudley ironworks in Worcestershire, this meant there was a surplus of workers.

Curiosities of Staffordshire- Flash village
Today we are visiting the (disputed) highest village in Britain, Flash on the border between Staffordshire, Derbyshire and Cheshire. Now a welcome break for ramblers visiting The Roaches nearby to enjoy a drink at the highest village pub in Britain (again, other 'highest pubs in Britain' are available!), at one time this little village was a known haven for brigands, counterfeiters and other villainous types. It is due to this that Quarnford, as it was once known, became more widely known as 'Flash'.
5972 'Olton Hall' (AKA Hogwarts Castle) on the 'Wizards Express' at Capernwray. 7th June 2014
On a very stormy looking day me and my dad set off to capernwray and after some traffic confusion just near to carnforth we managed to find our way following Grahams (SteamDriver12 P/S. Thanks for the directions!) directions we ended up at capernwray. I set up and my dad said he's going to walk around and be back when the trains passed. The train passes over the bridge quite impressively and I pack up and wait for the car. My dad appears from the canal and he comes to the car and tells me he also took a shot from further down the towpath. I fairy liked his video therefore I added it onto the video. From his video you can see the other side of the bridge that I am filming. We then attempted to chase it to Clapham where we missed it by 10 minutes unfortunately.
Thanks for watching! Filmed by Jack and John Harkins.
