BLACKBURN RAILWAYS, railways in Lancashire connecting Blackburn with places to the N, to the W, to the S, and to the E. They are the Blackburn, Clitheroe, and Northwestern Junction, the Blackburn and Preston, the Blackburn, Darwen, and Bolton, and the Blackburn, Burnley, Accrington, and Colne Extension, but all are incorporated with the Lancashire and Yorkshire, and will be noticed under that head.
