Daisyfield Viaduct was originally constructed in the nineteenth century to carry the Bolton–Bury–Rochdale railway line across the Manchester, Bolton and Bury Canal and River Irwell taking trains towards Knowsley Street station in Bury. It no longer carries trains, as the line and viaduct were abandoned in the 1970s. It was restored in 1999 for use as a recreational feature for the general public, forming part of the Manchester to Preston leg of the National Cycle Network and the Bury Bolton Greenway Project.
