This was the railway bridge carrying the ex-L.Y.R. Rochdale to Facit branch, which spanned the upper part of Yorkshire Street. Seen here from the east, this bridge was later removed after the branch line had become completely disused. On each of the abutments can be discerned a coat of arms, which was that of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway.
