THE fabric of the historic Horwich Loco Works will live on at the East Lancashire Railway. Bricks from the recently-demolished Horwich Loco Works will journey to Bury to be used in a planned restoration of the ELR’s Buckley Wells locomotive and carriage works site. Developers transforming the loco works into a huge housing development donated the reclaimed bricks as part of their pledge to maintain the heritage and history of the Horwich Loco Works. The links between the loco works and the East Lancashire Railway are already strong as the railway still runs the iconic Crab locomotive, built for the former Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway at Horwich in 1927.
