Horwich End
Date
20th Cent
Description
Looking north towards the junction of the CHPR route from Shallcross Yard to Whaley Bridge terminus (right), and the former spur of 1857 to the SD&WB. When the Buxton Extension of the SD&WB was built, it was unable to climb sufficiently to gain enough height to clear the CHPR, as a consequence the CHPR line was lowered and diverted to the south, even so this only gave a maximum headroom of 10ft 6in!
