Bridge Reinforcement
The railway bridge at Kearsley station. The line is so high in relation to the road, that the retaining wall had started to bulge. The steel girders are there to reinforce the stability of the embankment, but they limit the height of vehicles which can pass beneath, to 15ft 9ins.

Kearsley station 1989
The shelters offered little protection from Lancashire's weather. The station was (and is) perched high on a hillside of the Irwell valley.
