Nuttall Lane Ramsbottom
Taken on New Years Eve 2008 when temperatures dipped to minus 5 this is Nuttall Lane which looks like the main dual carriageway route out of Ramsbottom.
In fact it is nothing more than part of the circular loop road that only serves the Whittingham Drive Housing Estate.
With a 30mph speed limit someone should tell the local boy racers as they use this section of road as a race track in the evenings and weekends.
During 2008 this section of Nuttall Lane was the scene of three serious accidents which all occurred late at night.
