Leigh Brow Bridge
A former railway bridge which now only serves to carry a foot and cycle path over the road. The road is a narrow lane which once formed part of a through route from Lostock Hall to Walton-le-Dale. It is now restricted to non-motorised traffic. Its name changes from Leigh Brow to Wateringpool Lane at the bridge. The view back up Leigh Brow can be seen here: Image A short distance along Wateringpool Lane is a former gasworks. During the era when coal gas was used, coal wagons would regularly end up wedged under this low bridge on their way to the gasworks.

View along the cycle path towards the site of the proposed link road bridge
Housing development on the old gasworks site to the west is dependent upon the construction of a new link road connecting Walton-le Dale and Penwortham through the pre-existing estate roads Carrwood Road and The Cawsey. It is proposed that the link road will pass over this nature reserve and cycle path by means of a bridge at this point. View from Carrwood Road: Image More details about the development and link road: https://web.archive.org/web/20151229180207/http://www.leylandguardian.co.uk/news/local/former-gasworks-site-gets-the-go-ahead-for-280-new-homes-1-7411180
