Halton-with-Aughton is a civil parish and electoral ward located 3 miles (5 km) east of Lancaster, England, on the north bank of the River Lune.

The main settlement is the village of Halton, or Halton-on-Lune, in the west, and the parish stretches to the hamlet of Aughton in the east.

[3] Halton railway station was on the opposite bank of the river from the village, linked by a narrow toll bridge.

Halton was the centre of an important Anglo-Saxon manor held by Earl Tostig, the brother of King Harold before the Norman Conquest.

In the churchyard of St Wilfrid's Church stands the Halton Cross believed to have been carved by Norsemen over 1,000 years ago.

The chamber was charged with charcoal,[a] limestone, and ore and a blast of air was blown into the base using water driven bellows.

[8][9] In 1849, the "little" North Western Railway built Halton station[10] on the other bank of the Lune, primarily to serve the forge.

[9] When the railway closed in 1966, the bridge fell into disrepair, it has been restored and is now free and open to small cars, pedestrians and cycles.

A spark from the engine of a passing Heysham–St Pancras boat train set fire to a wagon of oil drums by the goods shed.

The fire brigade were unable to cross the narrow bridge and it was left to a special trainload of railway workers from Lancaster to pass buckets of water from the river.

[12] The station was rebuilt in brick and timber and the building survives to this day, used as storage by Lancaster University Rowing Club, with a public car park occupying the former track bed.

No world record was attempted but the attendance was over 5000 and the profit made divided between good causes, St Saviour's and the Recreation Rooms.
