Adrian, that's an interesting set of P&L images on your website. Whilst you were photographing the line did you check out Deepdale Mill Street bridge. On the west side of the roadside there used to be a crest moulded into the bridge side and, if I recall correctly, an iron band with the P&L details moulded into a concrete flag outside Deepdale station on Deepdale Road, although this latter item may now have disappeared.
I believe the platform near Skeffington Road you mention was used for a very short period by a local cotton mill for coal and a rail chair track works on the opposite side of the line for unloading scrap.
Let's hope this light railway takes off as it's sorely needed.
