VIEW: A view down Higher Swan Lane from the junction of Lever Edge Lane in 1976.
TODAY’S Looking Back photograph shows a part of town that was once a hive of industry.
This is a view looking down Higher Swan Lane from Lever Edge Lane.
The picture was taken in 1976.
The area of town it shows was once filled with smoke from the many mill chimneys churning out cotton and products associated with cotton. Today the mills are long gone or used for other purposes.
