SD6012 : Waterhouse Bridge

Adlington, Lancashire, Great Britain

Waterhouse Bridge
Waterhouse Bridge
This bridge carrying the A6 road is marked to show the boundary between Blackrod and Adlington. The inscription shows that Adlington was a constituent of the Leyland Hundred and Blackrod the Salford Hundred. Salford? That's miles away - unlike the stone buildings of Pin Croft textile dyeing and printing mill, one of the last operating textile businesses to survive in Lancashire.
