The photo was taken on 10/12/1981. Here’s another taken on the same day where it looks like it might actually be starting to snow again.

It must have been a particularly cold spell because the snow was still on the ground two weeks later (Christmas Eve) when I took this shot.

Talking of Lowton, I believe there was a station there on the Wigan line just across the fields from the monument but it was before my time. However, I do remember Lowton St Mary’s station a few miles away. We used to cycle from there to Pennington Flash to go fishing.

Thanks for the kind offer Res but I think the photos you have already posted are perfect.
