Ormskirk is a market town in West Lancashire, England, 13 miles north of Liverpool, 11 miles northwest of St Helens, 9 miles southeast of Southport and 18 miles southwest of Preston. Ormskirk is famous for its gingerbread.
Ormskirk lies on sloping ground on the side of a ridge, whose highest point is 68 metres (223 ft) above sea-level, at the centre of the West Lancashire Plain, and has been described as a planned borough, laid out in the 13th century. Ormskirk is an unparished area, surrounded by the parishes of Bickerstaffe, Aughton, Scarisbrick, Burscough, Lathom and Lathom South.
Ormskirk is located in the district of West Lancashire and is the site of the headquarters of West Lancashire Borough Council. Since Ormskirk does not have a parish council, a voluntary association, Ormskirk Community Partnership, was created in 2009, with the support of the West Lancashire Borough Council, to act as a voice for Ormskirk. Ormskirk is home to Edge Hill University.
The parish church of St Peter and St Paul is believed to be on the site of the original kirk, on a sandstone outcrop, and is the oldest building in the town of Ormskirk . Its exact age is unknown; the building does contain some fragments of Norman architecture.
Victoria Park, named after Queen Victoria, is Ormskirk's oldest park, established towards the end of the 19th Century. It contains a monument to local heroes of the Boer War and Crimean War. Coronation Park, a large park in the town centre on Park Road, which has children's play areas, skateboard area, games area for football and basketball, fitness equipment, duck pond, bowling green, bandstand and wildlife meadow. The Park was established in about 1905 by the former Ormskirk Urban District to commemorate the coronation of King Edward VII.

37603 & 37611 working 1Q14 01-05-2013
Under Normal Circumstances, I wouldn't bother filming Network Rail Measurement Trains unless they run down rare track (in other words, down to Southport etc.), and this occasion definitely falls into that category. In 1 evening, the train, headcode 1Q14 from Crewe TMD-Blackpool North then Blackpool North-Crewe CS would visit 2 rare lines; the Preston Docks Branch, and the Ormskirk Line, the latter once being part of the L&Y main line from Preston to Liverpool Exchange.
We begin on the Preston Dock Branch, at Strand Road level crossing, which splits Network Rail track on one side, and that of the Ribble Steam Railway on the other. It has been some time since a 37 last ran along here, the last known occasion being 'The Preston Docker' in 2008. 37611 was leading across the crossing, with 37603 heading the train back up the tightly curved 1 in 29 incline to the Main line at Preston. This was a shot I had wanted to do for some time, off Christian Road Bridge, with a 37 at full power, and that was exactly what this was. After clearing Fishergate Tunnel, 37603 literally erupted round the bend; the clag says it all.
This was also the first time, although I have lived close by all my life, that I had been able to capture a loco hauled train on the Preston-Ormskirk line, and so I naturally decided to head for my 2 favourite locations on the route: Lathom's Farm, between Rufford and Burscough Junction, and the the field binded by the Ormskirk line, the Wigan-Southport line, and the former west-north curve linking the 2 routes, which was lifted in the 1960's. However, because the train was only booked to run down this section around 2100, it would have to be a perfectly clear evening to attempt the 2 shots, which, thankfully it was. As can be seen though on the North Curve shot, the light had very nearly run out by 2120 when the train returned bound for Blackpool South and eventually Crewe.
