Looking back to the canoeists

Whins Lane - this was the main Chorley to Blackburn road until the 1960's when a landslide meant a new road had to be built
| ||||||
The place where the landslide occurred. This has made Whins Lane and Wheelton much quieter as a by pass was built around the village
| ||||||
Having reached the other side of the landslip, this is nearing Wheelton village

Nearing the end of my walk. This is Victoria Street looking towards the steps to the Village Hall
