Railway bridge over platts lodge

Hi, does anyone have any photos of the old railway bridge / viaduct that used to go over platts lodge? The supports are still there but I've never seen what the bridge itself looked like.

Thanks Ian

Re: Railway bridge over platts lodge

It took me a while to think where Platt's Lodge was - I call it Scaitcliffe Lodge, or perhaps Bullough's Lodge. Accrington Library have photos indexed under streets, so you might have to look under Ormerod or St James or Scaitcliffe.
