Railway west of Burtonwood Road, Hood Manor
Looking west, towards Padgate and Liverpool, from the bridge carrying Burtonwood Road across the railway. This is the former Cheshire Lines Committee main line between Liverpool and Manchester, and for several years was the more important route between the two cities, used by all long distance trains serving both. However, the original route (via Newton-le-Willows) has been electrified and now hosts an hourly Liverpool to Newcastle express service.

Burtonwood Road, much altered
The map still shows a Level Crossing where the roundabout is. This carried the line serving the US Base at RAF Burtonwood. A new road, veering left takes its place. The main road to the base, Burtonwood Road is now intersected at several points and is no longer a through road. The entrance to the Burtonwood Repair Depot was beyond the tree on the right, with the base's main gates being a few hundred yards north. Housing is increasingly covering the site.
