Complicated junction, Hindley
As Bridge Street comes up the hill, it takes an almost right-angle turn as it becomes Castle Hill Road. At the same point Lancaster Street joins, almost in line with Bridge Street, while Chapel Green Road also joins almost on a line with Castle Hill Road. Thus traffic wishing to take either road must indicate its intention to turn right or left (depending on direction of travel) - but, as may be seen from the position of the Ford car, it is by no means clear which road will be turned down until the last minute.
St John's Methodist Church is in the background.
