Downholland
One feature of the LS&PJR was that, despite running for nearly eight miles through the Altcar moss, it only had one level crossing (at Shirdley Hill). All other roads and tracks crossed the line on substantial bridges that are now a distinctive feature of the local landscape. This view looks towards the CLC junction at Altcar & Hillhouse, from a bridge just south of Downholland, in August 2020. It is also surprising that, nearly seventy years after full closure, the trackbed is still so visible and hasn't been ploughed into the local farmland.
