Healey Dell Viaduct
Now a Grade II listed structure, Healey Dell Viaduct forms part of a linear trail in the Spodden Valley. Its survival is partly due to it carrying a hidden sewer pipe under the trail surface. Because the trackbed is now raised additional fences have been fitted to the bridge parapets, over 100' above the river below. The best way to reach the viaduct is to park at Broadley station and walk south the 400yds or so along the old line. This view looks towards Rochdale, over the former single track structure, in July 2022.
