Is that the one going from Aye Bridge Farm to Dam Lane Golborne?

I DONT KNOW WHERE YOU MEAN. IT WAS CLOSE TO THE HARROW PUB THERE WAS A LANE THAT WENT FROM HE HARROW THROUGH A FARM TO THE BRIDGE AS FAR AS I REMEMBER.

As you go over Dover Lock Bridge,towards Golborne,the first farm on the right is Aye Bridge Farm. It's just over the field behind the farm buildings. Crossing it, there was a footpath to Dam Lane which carried on to Edge Green Rd, then on to Ashton Rd

Hi Art
It must be that one.
It was the first railway bridge going to warrington from bamfurlong.
We used to walk to it from bryn gates walking over passed and around the mains pit.Im sure there was a path somewhere that came out in the harrow lane.

When I was a kid,(in ancient times), I used to spend my hols at the bottom of Dam lane, in my aunts cottage, no longer there. No electeric, no gas, oil lamp on the table, cook on the fire. As a kid, I thowt it were magic! ;o)
Later on in '53, I helped out at Aye bridge farm,(clearing out the stuff from Pendleburys, after the fire) before I started training for the pit.

If my memorys right these days the 2nd iron bridge took you to Dam lane, the one Dereks parents are on brought you out on Rideing lane just before the Harrow inn

Correct, that Mark! After posting, I looked at the map. I got off the bus at the farm after Aye Bridge, walked thro' the farm yard, over the bridge to Dam Lane.
Do you recall the Harrow Inn when a goat used to wander around the pub?....In the '70's

There was some slag tips near to the bridge, I think they were called the red rocks????

I have wonderful memories of this Bridge. As children we would stand on it as the steam trains came around the corner and blew up through the iron bridge.... thank you for posting it.
