Two viaducts
The viaduct further from the camera carries the Bolton to Blackburn railway line over Folds Road. The nearer viaduct used to carry a branch line to Astley Bridge. That line was opened in 1877 but closed to passenger traffic as soon as 1879 because of very low usage. The tram from Astley Bridge to Bolton via Blackburn Road was cheaper and more convenient. The line continued to carry freight, mainly coal, until the late 1950s, but closed completely in 1963. All that remains today is the viaduct shown here.

Tonge Viaduct, Bolton ? 1968
On the line from Bolton to Blackburn, with an engineers' train passing over. It was built in 1849. This view from Tonge Moor Road is no longer available due to tree growth on the area in the foreground and in the valley itself.
