Whitegate Way, Winsford This is the start/finish of the Whitegate Way, a permissive recreational route for walkers, horse riders and cyclists. It follows the line of an old salt-carrying railway line between Winsford and Cuddington (near Delamere Forest) that operated for almost one hundred years before closing in 1966. Here there is a car park off Bradford Road with a vandalized interpretation board. The sign to the left of shot marking the terminus appears to be one of the old station platform signs suitably annotated.
