The Ginnel, Astley Bridge
This alleyway is much used by pedestrians heading for the shops in Astley Bridge. In earlier times, where the fence is, on the left, there stood the wall of a mill, thus giving rise to the local name for the alley of "The Ginnel". Ginnel is a northern dialect word meaning a passageway between two buildings.

Broad o' th' Lane
Originally the lane connected Moss Bank Way (A58) to Belmont Road (A675). It became a rat run for motorists avoiding the notoriously busy Astley Bridge junction of the A58, the A675 and the A666 a little further to the east. No doubt to the relief of residents, it has now been made into a cul de sac half way up its length, thus preventing through traffic.
