View northward, towards Ashton and Wigan on the A49, approaching the Bay Horse Inn. The ex-GCR branch from (to right) Lowton and Glazebrook to St Helens (Central) (to left) ran underneath here, until the line closed on 4/1/65: the station had been on the left and closed 3/3/52 when the Glazebrook - St Helens passenger service ceased.
