Brock railway station served the hamlet of Brock near Bilsborrow, Lancashire, England, from 1849 to 1939 on the Lancaster and Preston Junction Railway.

History

The station opened in August 1849 by the Lancaster and Preston Junction Railway. It replaced Roebuck, which was to the south. To the west was a siding and underneath the platforms was the River Brock. The station closed on 1 May 1939.[1]

Since 2012, the site of the demolished stationmaster's house and a terrace of four railway cottages has become a nature reserve protected by the Fields in Trust charity.[2]
