A BUSY scene at Lostock Junction in October 1953, when the mill was a prominent feature of the district.
The station closed in November 1966 -- but re-opened in 1988, although not with the buildings shown on this picture -- and Crosses and Heaton's mill closed in 1971. Houses now stand on the mill site.
