Shawclough and Healey: Walking down the trackbed from Healey Dell Viaduct towards Rochdale it comes to a sudden end by this old bridge. Cyclists and horses should leave jst before this point but pedestrians can cross the new footbridge and continue down a 'ginnel' emerging onto the small housing estate that has been built on the site of Shawclough and Healey station.
