New Longton history

The development of New Longton was prompted by the building of the West Lancashire Railway between Preston and Southport in Victorian times. Since the 1940s housing estate development has taken place south of Hugh Barn Lane and Wham Lane. The village lost its railway service in the 1960s, but remains a commuter village with a regular bus service.
