WWII Lancashire: Ghost Signs of the Home Front (20)

- Emergency Rendezvous Point, Rostron Road, Ramsbottom, at junction with Victoria Street "ERP 438" looks remarkably fresh, most probably repainted. Emergency Rendezvous Points (ERP) were designated places in the locality for the coordination of ARP and emergency services during civil emergencies, particularly for those services arriving from outside the area. The signs appear in a variety of designs, but most are diamond shapes framing the ERP locality number. SD7816 : WWII Lancashire: Ghost Signs of the Home Front (21)

Brooksbottom Viaduct

The Brooksbottom viaduct carries the East Lancashire Railway over the River Irwell and the surrounding valley. The viaduct, seen here from Waterside Road, was constructed in 1845. Here, preserved former British Railways Bulleid 7P5FA 4-6-2 ‘West Country’ class locomotive number 34092 ‘City of Wells’ is crossing the viaduct with an East Lancashire Railway passenger train on the journey from Bury to Rawtenstall.

Houses in Tanners Street, Ramsbottom

Built between the mid 1840s and 1890, on the hillside west of the town centre. Lower down the street the original pavement is higher than the modern one.

Dundee Lane, Ramsbottom

In the 1840s there was only Dundee House and Dundee School along this lane, which wasn't mapped as 'Dundee Lane' until 1891. There were one or two more homes by 1927, but the houses seen here were built between 1927 and 1939.
