A fairly miserable November day in Little Lever was captured in this photo from 1966.

It shows the junction of Lever Street/Church Street and Market Street in the centre of the town. Ainsworth Road can be seen on the left.

The local Co-op, a fixture in virtually every town in the area in the Sixties, was open for business although it looks as though pedestrians took their lives in their hands crossing the complicated junction to get to it.
