9260g Bridge 29
In advance of a meeting in Preston in the afternoon I took the opportunity of a beautiful day to explore the footbridge " Bridge 29", WNW of Kirkham North Junction. The bridge appears in the distance in Railrover700's Photo img-3977.jpg of 6th January.
The bridge can be seen immediately west of Lytham Old Junction on this Edwardian map:
maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=16&lat=53.7907&lon=...
According to the map the location should cross the current route to Blackpool North and the former route to Blackpool Central and might afford views of the current route to Blackpool South and the line of route of the west-to-south curve which once made Kirkham North a triangular junction.
The bridge in the distance crosses the current line to Blackpool North and the lifted route to Blackpool Central, the trackbed of which curves below the camera.
