About Fencing in Carnforth
Carnforth in Lancashire owes much of its fame to a single railway station, opened in 1846 by the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway and later enlarged in the 1870s to a design by the local architects Paley and Austin. The station became a junction hub once the Furness and Midland railways connected through the town, and its clock, first installed in December 1895, achieved lasting fame after the station was chosen as the setting for the 1945 film Brief Encounter, filmed there over ten nights in February that year so as not to disrupt daytime trains. The clock and station fell into disrepair in later decades before a sensitive restoration led to the opening of a heritage centre in 2003, which now welcomes tens of thousands of visitors each year drawn by the town's connection to the film.
