Stone commemorating rebuilding of wall by volunteers
On the 'Carradise'; the Bell because it was organised by Councillor James Eric Bell, and the date of the rebuilding. Stone cut by a local mason.

Entrance To North Bank Farm
Tom Dixon and later his son John Dixon supplied many customers with milk from the dairy herd at North Bank Farm. In the 1950's and early 60's I would occasionally ride with Tom in his van delivering milk in Whittle-le-Woods and Chorley.

Tunnel under Lancaster Canal
This tunnel was built for the River Lostock to pass under the embankment for the southern section of the Lancaster Canal. It even has a "towpath".
The canal was finally abandoned when the M61 motorway was built - it cut across the canal about 100m from here.
The river also passes through a culvert in the M61 embankment (immediately upstream of this tunnel).

Lancaster Canal, Whittle-le-Woods
I believe this 50m length is the only remaining section of the Lancaster Canal between Johnson's Hillock [SD5820] and Walton Summit [SD5824], that still resembles a canal.
This southern section of the canal was never linked to the northern section, except by a tramway, due to the expense of crossing the River Ribble.
It was finally abandoned when the M61 motorway was built.
