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.

Woodland route of the back path
The "back path" is a tarmac path along the western edge of the Broadhey estate. This is an alternative parallel route through part of Broad Hey Wood, which can be much more attractive but also very muddy when wet. The spring greenery is just developing here.

Nuttall Lane Ramsbottom
Taken during adverse weather conditions in December 2009 as snow continued to fall in the area for the third consecutive day causing many local roads to become impassable.
The lack of gritting by the Bury Metropolitan Borough Council was evident as local bus services which use Nuttall Lane were suspended.

Footpath on the edge of the Broad Hey Estate
The estate is to the left and the land drops down to Summerseat to the right, though the view once available down to Summerseat has now been blocked by foliage. This is a bright April morning after a surprising amount of overnight snow.
