General notes

Army Remount Depot established during 1914-18 war in the grounds of Lathom House. A railway was built which left the Earl of Lathom's land near Blaguegate Colliery, passed Slate Farm and passed through Spa Farm to reach the main railway line. The depot remained in use until 1920 with the railway line used for storage. The lines were later removed.
