Earby also had its own railway station, but it was closed in 1970. The station was an interchange with the small branch to Barnoldswick. It has a Monday to Saturday bus service (280) between Preston and Skipton operated by Stagecoach together with a daily bus service (M5) from Barnoldwick to Burnley provided by The Burnley Bus Company (Transdev)'.

Old Grammar School – now Lead Mining Museum

The Yorkshire Dales Lead Mining Museum was based in the old Grade II* listed Grammar School building.[6] This closed in January 2016. The Robert Windle's Foundation, a charity established in the 1600s, and original owners of the building have now taken back control and are working to establish a community hub and café for the benefit of the residents of the locality.
