Disused Stations: Facit branch viaducts

The south-eastern end of the Roch Viaduct was immediately after its crossing of the River Roch. The steep slope ahead, on this photo from June 2016, is the end of the embankment that carried the Facit Branch from the viaduct towards the Branch Sidings and the junction with the Rochdale – Todmorden line. The embankment has been transformed into Roch Wood, and a public footpath follows the crest of the embankment for several hundred yards.
