The photograph shows the Shevington Junction (now 27) and this was originally going to be the start of the Wigan North Link road that would have come out on the A49 Wigan Road Standish (top of prospect hill)
That is why Shevington Lane is on a Bridge with nothing under it.

I remember reading somewhere that the mine workings were once part of Crow Orchard Collery.
