View southwards, towards Middlewich and Sandbach; Sandbach - Middlewich - Northwich line. Actually, the Halt was behind the camera: it closed 2/5/42, passenger services on the line ceased 4/1/60, but the line is still open for through freight traffic. The lake in the view is probably one of those formed near the Trent & Mersey Canal, as a result of the extensive extraction of salt deposits in the district.
