Notice alongside a boarded crossing, probably at Sunnywood Halt, on the Holcombe Brook branch stating in no uncertain terms:
L&Y RAILWAY COMPANY.
PERSONS using this crossing are STRICTLY FORBIDDEN
to touch the RAILS provided for supplying ELECTRIC CURRENT
to the trains and anyone TRESPASSING in this manner does so ENTIRELY AT OWN RISK. I presume there were a few of these signs along the length of the branch, and perhaps the Manchester to Bury line too, and wonder if any have survived.
Location: Sunnywood Halt
Original line: Bury and Tottington District Railway
