Station Name: PADIHAM[Source: Andy Hunt]
 1931 1:2500 OS map. The goods yard layout remains the same as the 1893 map, however the short third coal siding has been made into 2 longer sidings. The tramway that runs alongside the outer one runs all the way and directly connects the yard with the gas works. The 2 original signal boxes have been replaced by 1 box situated of the down platform at the Rose Grove end - this replacement happened in 1913. Just out of sight to the left, Padiham's power station was now built and in use. Trains for it would cross over the river bridge (on the left) and immediately run off the main lines to their left (or South as we look at the map)
