Redundant gatepost
Several decades ago the land on either side of the path was pasture belonging to Great Oaks Farm. To the right of this picture the Bolton to Blackburn railway ran atop an embankment and to allow the farmer to move his animals from one field to another there was a track under a bridge carrying the railway. The field to the right of the railway is no more and houses have been built there. The bridge has therefore been stopped up and is no longer visible. I suspect that this gatepost marks where the bridge/underpass was. The gate bracket suggests that the gate was to the left hand field and the slight indentation on the map of the railway embankment on the right of the railway also suggests a bridge and track under it.
