At peak times this junction at Bolton Road West ,Nuttall Lane and Dundee Lane is very busy with traffic queues back to Ramsbottom centre. Since 1843 there has been an annual exhibition, held on New Years Day, of game fowl organised by the Holcombe Old English Game Fowl Club. This competitive show replaced the annual cockfight that took place in the town square following the New Year Holcombe Hunt. The oldest gamecock show in the world, it is now held every year at the Old Dun Horse Hotel on the corner.
