Was Summersale a walk down pit , I don't remember the head gear , or is that my memory . ??

Bridge down Brook Lane.

Question? Did Lolly ever go under this bridge?

by Lolly Thu Jun 09, 2022 8:46 pm

I dont remember the bridge, I do remember the brook and if not mistaken there was a tree with a rope to swing on at the bottom of the lane.

by **Admin** Thu Jun 09, 2022 8:56 pm

The bridge was quite close to the railway line and the old signal box. But you are so young that you would not remember the signal box. It's only us old farts that remember that............ Whistling

Walking Day in Pemberton...1950's...???

Little one out to the site of the Pingot Viaduct (built around 1790, demolished 1890) that was located at the bottom of Brook Lane, Pemberton.

Nice Little culvert too.

The stones I think, or would like to think, was part of the Viaduct.

Cast iron railway bridge, that is accessible via public footpath.
