Hi whups. Golborne itself caused more than it's fair share of earthquakes over the years. Parts of Lowton were regularly shaken by underground earth movements caused by mining. The East Lancs was closed in the early 80's by an 18 inch step straight across the junction with Stone Cross lane. This was the surface plot of a large geological fault which we were causing to move as the Plodder was mined beneath it. If you look in the fields to the south of the East lancs there you will see the step that was left across the fields.
