The level crossing at Astley Moss. Although Rindle Road crosses the Manchester to Liverpool railway line here, there is no through way as the road on the south side of the crossing is private. The 1940s OS map (http://wtp2.appspot.com/wheresthepath.htm?lat=53.47067744420154&lon=-2.4483298735331593&gz=15&oz=9>=6) shows that there used to be a station here.
