I have this labelled as Pemberton Road Bridge in my album. Looking towards Wigan. McAlpines' main office was about 1mile away at Windy Arbour. The road to Wigan was diverted round the bridge construction and Lenonard Fairclough was the bridge contractor.
Why "Slacky Brow" ? possible the coal mining area?
