History
In August 1848, a north-bound London & North Western Railway train from London Euston to Glasgow collided with a small local train at Bay Horse station, killing 1, injuring 20.
Newland Hall is a country house and the former seat of the Owtrams, a local mill-owning family. Colonel Cary Owtram OBE (1900–1993) gained prominence after the publication of a secret diary that he kept during his three-and-a-half-year stint as a prisoner of war in Thailand during World War II.
