The site of the disused Lancaster Canal goes horizontally across the middle of the shot. The tracks of a disused railway can also be seen. From 1856 to 1885 this was the site of Maudlands Bridge railway station, the terminus of a railway line to Longridge. The line closed to passengers in 1930 but continued to be used for goods until the 1990s.
