The viaduct, a Grade II listed structure (http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-489719-burden-viaduct-bolton British Listed Buildings), was originally opened in 1848 for the Liverpool and Bury (later the Lancashire and Yorkshire) Railway. The line was closed to passenger traffic in 1951 and then closed completely in 1970.
