River Wenning - Izeria

The River Wenning is a tributary of the River Lune, flowing through North Yorkshire and Lancashire. The name derives from the Old English Wann, meaning dark river. The Wenning is formed from the confluence of Clapham Beck, which rises above Clapham, and Austwick Beck, which rises in Crummackdale above Austwick. It then flows westwards through High Bentham, Low Bentham and Wennington. The river flows for 14.09 miles (22.67 km) and drains an area of 24.9 square miles (64.6 km2). It joins the River Lune approximately 1 mile (1.5 km) west of Hornby. This river's valley, together with Airedale, Wharfedale and upper Ribblesdale, made up the former district of Craven in North Yorkshire.

Hornby railway station

Hornby railway station served the village of Hornby in the City of Lancaster district of Lancashire, England. The station was located in a cutting off Station Road and was constructed by the "Little" North Western Railway' opening with the line in November 1849 (though through traffic towards Skipton and beyond didn't commence until the following summer). The line eastwards towards Wennington was doubled soon after opening but westwards to Lancaster, it remained single track until 1889. It was closed to passenger traffic in September 1957 by the British Transport Commission due to declining usage. The line remained in use until closure to passengers in January 1966 between Wennington and Morecambe. Freight services finished the following year in June 1967 and the line was later dismantled. Much of the route has since been returned to agricultural use. The station site is now occupied by a housing development, though the formation either side can still be traced.
