Chase the Rainbow
During the 2020 coronavirus pandemic https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_coronavirus_pandemic_in_the_United_Kingdom the UK government imposed restrictions on travel and people were no longer allowed to congregate in groups. All restaurants, pubs, clubs and indoor sport and leisure facilities were ordered to close. People were asked to work from home where possible and schools were closed to all except vulnerable pupils and children of ‘key workers’ who had to carry on working.
During this time, a number of rainbows started to appear. Usually painted by children and placed in windows but also, sometimes chalked on pavements or other more elaborate decorations on the outside of houses https://www.hellomagazine.com/homes/gallery/2020033187217/coronavirus-rainbow-displays-windows-photos/9/ This trend appears to have started in Italy but has also been adopted in the US, Canada and Spain, where people have adorned their windows and balconies with colourful pictures.
Rainbows are used as a symbol of peace and hope as they often appear when the sun follows a heavy rainfall. They serve to remind us that there is hope and light to follow even after dark times. Children and parents have been encouraged to share photos of their rainbows on social media using the tags #RainbowTrail and #ChaseTheRainbow.
This example, created from old bottle-tops is attached to the railings of the Wesleyan Methodist Primary School.

Disused Railway, Black Lane
The course of the former Liverpool and Bury (later Lancashire and Yorkshire) Railway, at Black Lane.
The Liverpool and Bury Railway was formed in 1845. In 1847, it was incorporated into the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway and from 1922, until nationalisation, was part of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway.
The line between Bolton and Bury was closed in 1970 and part of the route, as here, is now a footpath although it has been built over in other places (http://menmedia.co.uk/heywoodadvertiser/news/s/390183_rail_decision_spells_gloom_for_lines_future - Heywood Advertiser).
