The Nevison Arms, Plank Lane
This pub looks as if it predates all the surrounding buildings. As seen in previous shots, much of what came later, which was associated with the colliery, has gone, but it has survived.

Site of Bickershaw Colliery
The two green-painted cages contain, I assume, pipework associated with the colliery shafts which once stood proudly here. There is a proposal to build a marina here, leading off the canal which runs between the site and the distant trees.
