Would this be the bridge that carries the Wigan to Hindley line?

This Jinty is passing under the main road that went past the Old Hall public house. Manchester Road, I think?

You are quite correct, Jarvo, it is the same loco as in the other photo of the Jinty, which gives you a better idea of the location.
