Gisburn: Coal Pit Lane

Image: © Dr Neil Clifton Taken: 9 Sep 2012

Looking southeast. Coal Pit Lane was once part of the ancient route from Gisburn to Colne. It joined up with Gisburn Old Road near the top of Weets Hill. However, the connection is no longer possible, as Coal Pit Lane ceases to be metalled in another 500 yards at Bonny Blacks Farm, and although bridleway rights exist further on, eventually the way becomes quite impassable, even for a pedestrian. As it is not a through road, there is very little traffic along Coal Pit Lane, (even Bonny Blacks can be reached much more easily by a different route).
