I was looking the other day at Huncoat station on the East Lancashire line and came across something I've seen before - wrong "facts".
Looking on the Internet it says the station was "re-located in 1902", but if you look at this map (published in 1895, surveyed 1890-92) you can clearly see the station at its present location (the 1848 map shows the original location).
That means the re-location date of 1902 is clearly wrong?
It's not the first time I've come across such things while researching my old branch line (not this one).
What mistakes have you found over the years? I'm guessing they are sadly very common?
Thanks,
Andy.
