Healey Dell Viaduct
Looking towards Bacup on the Healey Dell Nature Trail in February 2025. The last goods train from Whitworth ran in 1967, twenty years after passenger services between Rochdale and Bacup ceased. Healey Dell Viaduct is just beyond the bend in the trackbed, while in the foreground are the 'Siamese' or as they are now known, 'Twin Bridges'. That on the left never carried trains, but did it slip down the hill after construction as local legend has it, or was it simply put in the wrong place? The latter happened in other places occasionally - see image 18285.
