==''Brief Encounter''==
In 1945, [[Carnforth railway station]] was used as a location for the [[David Lean]] film ''[[Brief Encounter]]'', starring [[Celia Johnson]] and [[Trevor Howard]]. Fans of this film were one of the major factors in the recent refurbishment of the railway station, including construction of a [[refreshment room]] to match the studio set used in the film. This reopened in 2021 as the ''Brief Encounter Refreshment Room Bistro and Bar''.<ref>{{cite web |title=Welcome - Brief Encounter Refreshment Room Bistro & Bar |url=https://refreshmentroom.com/ |access-date=2 November 2021}}</ref> There are also exhibitions and a heritage centre, which is now run by the Carnforth Station Trust.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.carnforthstation.co.uk/ |title=Carnforth Station Heritage Centre – Home of Brief Encounter |publisher=Carnforthstation.co.uk |date=17 October 2003 |access-date=22 August 2012}}</ref> The 2018 novel ''Past Encounters'' by local writer [[Deborah Swift]] is set, in part, in Carnforth during the filming of ''Brief Encounter''.<ref>{{cite web |title=Past Encounters (World War Two Sagas) by Deborah Swift |url=https://www.fantasticfiction.com/s/deborah-swift/past-encounters.htm |website=www.fantasticfiction.com |access-date=4 September 2022}}</ref>
