Original Burnden Park Disaster Plaque
First unveiled at Bolton Wanderers FC's former home ground which stood on this site. Bolton left Burnden Park after 102 years in 1997 and the ground was eventually demolished 2 years later. The Asda store on the site opened in 2005 with the plaque placed above the cash tills. Another plaque with the names of those who never made it home was unveiled on the 70th anniversary by the store exit Image

The Railway End terrace at Burnden Park
Burnden Park is the former home of Bolton Wanderers. On 9 March 1946, the Railway End was the scene of the Burnden Park disaster, which at the time was the worst tragedy in British football history. 33 Bolton Wanderers fans were crushed to death, and another 400 injured, in an FA Cup quarter-final second leg tie between Bolton and Stoke City.

The Burnden Viaduct
Looking along the deck of the, now disused, Burnden Railway Viaduct (Image]). The viaduct, a Grade II listed structure (http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-489719-burden-viaduct-bolton British Listed Buildings), was originally opened in 1848 for the Liverpool and Bury (later the Lancashire and Yorkshire) Railway. The line was closed to passenger traffic in 1951 and then closed completely in 1970.

Burnden Viaduct
This viaduct was originally opened in 1848 for the Liverpool and Bury (later the Lancashire and Yorkshire) Railway. The line was closed to passenger traffic in 1951 and then closed completely in 1970. The embankment to the right of the viaduct (as we look in this picture) formed one end of Bolton Wanderers' Burnden Park Football Stadium. All other traces of the railway embankment have gone; presumably the only thing saving the viaduct from demolition is its Grade II listed status (http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-489719-burden-viaduct-bolton British Listed Buildings).
When built, the viaduct crossed the River Croal and the Manchester, Bolton and Bury Canal. The latter has long since been filled in and now the busy A666 (St Peter's Way) passes under this end of the viaduct.
