Elm Avenue, Outwood
Well-kept, red-brick terraced housing in this interesting and isolated outpost which seems a little odd until it is realised that it belongs to the long disused Outwood Colliery (abandoned in 1931, although the site was active until 1956 as a washery).

Outwood Forest Park
The site of the former Outwood colliery consisted of 13 hectares of derelict land, collapsed buildings, spoil heaps, contaminated land and a number of uncapped mineshafts. Ownership of the site was transferred from British Coal Property to Bury Council in October 1997 with a view to reclaiming the land for public open space as part of the wider Outwood Forest Park project. The reclaimed land now provides a main gateway into the 80-hectare Outwood Forest Park and has a car park and footpaths; 25,000 trees have been planted. The park links with the Outwood Trail, the Irwell Sculpture Trail and the National Cycle Route and can accessed from Radcliffe by the recently restored Outwood Viaduct or from Ringley Road West at Outwood.

R?ckriem's Untitled Stones at Outwood Country Park
Famous German sculptor Ulrich Rückriem https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulrich_Ruckriem created one of his largest stone settings on the site of the former Outwood Colliery in 1999. The site of the former colliery consisted of 13 hectares of derelict land, collapsed buildings, spoil heaps, contaminated land and a number of uncapped mineshafts. Ownership of the site was transferred from British Coal Property to Bury Council in October 1997 with a view to reclaiming the land for public open space as part of the wider Outwood Forest Park project. Rückriem’s complete work consists of ten large stone pieces set over a number of locations within the site; one column marks each of the two main entrances to the colliery and a group of seven tall slabs is installed on a flat plateau Image The largest slab Image], marks the line of the former railway track. This one is amongst the trees behind Sycamore Avenue. The complete work forms part of the Irwell Sculpture Trail.

Backs, Elm Avenue
The backs of terraced houses can often make a more interesting image than the fronts. As always, the proliferation of wheelie-bins is evident. For a front view of Elm Avenue, see Image
