Andrew Lane park, Sharples
Though small, this green area is a pleasant haven from the A666 to the right of the scene. The low beech hedge on the right, at least 50 years old, is a fine sight in late autumn when the leaves turn brown.

Sweetloves Lane, Sharples, Bolton
At the junction with Ivy Bank Close. The lane joins Blackburn Road (A666) and Belmont Road (A675), but is now restricted by a no entry sign at the Blackburn Road end. Apart from a pre-first world war farmhouse and a few post-second world war houses, the houses are inter-wars, and are substantial and desirable residences.

Astley Bridge Mill
Another view of this mill also known as Sir John Holden's Mill and the last cotton spinning mill to be built in Bolton. The trees obscure the lower levels and the new penthouses are perhaps a little obtrusive. As stated before, this mill used grid electricity and it never possessed a typical mill chimney, although I've noticed a little brick stack in front of the water tower that might have serviced a central heating boiler.
