Longshaw, Wigan

Flooded footpath to Billinge Plantation

Uploader's Comments

From Upholland Road. Fields to the south of this path and east of the plantation drain into a narrow channel that runs alongside this path. There is a duckpond about 100m from the road but occasionally after prolonged or heavy rain the channel cannot cope with the volume of water and the path floods. Drains on Upholland Road were doing a reasonable job of dealing with the flood water and preventing in flowing across the road and down Longshaw Old Road.
