Woodhill Road Halt
L&YR 2-4-2T 50651, with a 26D Bury shedplate on its smokebox, calls at the small Woodhill Road Halt on its way to Holcombe Brook on the last day of services. Conductor rails still in place alongside the line. (Does anyone have pictures of the electric trains on this branch?) I visited this site in December 2008 and found that not only has the station gone but also the embankment has made way for housing too, with the spoil apparently moved up the hill to fill in Brandlesholme Road cutting see image 21238, where houses were also being built.
