Leigh Brow Bridge
Image: © Adam C Snape Taken: 27 Dec 2015
A former railway bridge which now only serves to carry a foot and cycle path over the road. The road is a narrow lane which once formed part of a through route from Lostock Hall to Walton-le-Dale. It is now restricted to non-motorised traffic. Its name changes from Leigh Brow to Wateringpool Lane at the bridge. The view back up Leigh Brow can be seen here: Image A short distance along Wateringpool Lane is a former gasworks. During the era when coal gas was used, coal wagons would regularly end up wedged under this low bridge on their way to the gasworks.
