Darcy Lever railway station

The station opened on 20 November 1848. It was on the Bury–Bolton section of the Liverpool & Bury Railway, which opened on the same day.
To the east of the station, the valley of the River Tonge is crossed by Darcy Lever viaduct, which is 86 feet high. It has eight spans supported by stone piers: two spans are 54 ft long, and six are 84 ft long. Each consists of six lattice girders: two 14-foot-deep girders , which also form the parapets, flanking four which are 10 feet deep. This viaduct, together with a shorter one of similar construction on the same line was claimed by the Bolton Chronicle to be "the first of their kind in England".
