The Three Arches, Feniscowles
A close look under the northernmost arch of the disused viaduct known locally as the Three Arches.
The bridge formerly carried the Lancashire Union Railway, built in the latter part of the 1860s to provide a direct connection between Blackburn and the rest of the East Lancashire cotton towns to sources of coal in and around Chorley and Wigan.
The line was eventually closed in January 1966, though the section between Cherry Tree and Feniscowles survived until 1968.
There's a good overview on the White Coppice, Anglezarke & Rivington website (exceptional local resource) at http://www.white-coppice.co.uk/chorley_blackburn.htm.
