In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Foxfield like this:
FOXFIELD, a railway station adjacent to the boundary between Cumberland and Lancashire; at the head of the Duddon estuary, ¾ of a mile SSW of Broughton-in-Furness. It is the junction station of the Whitehaven and Furness railway with the Furness, Ulverstone, and Lancaster railway.
Foxfield is now part of WESTMORLAND AND FURNESS Unitary Authority. Click here for graphs and data of how WESTMORLAND AND FURNESS has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Foxfield itself, go to Statistics.
