This is the old Pemberton Loop line that ran from Hindley North to Pemberton Junction at Little Lane. The picture is not as alarming as it seems: the line closed to traffic in July 1969; this photograph was probably taken in the early seventies. It ran through Poolstock and Goose Green passing over two bridges that have since vanished along with most of the track and embankments.
