General notes

The Gillibrand Hall Viaduct immediately before and during its demolition. The photographs were taken by Ian Calderbank. In 1977 he was tasked with demolishing the Gillibrand Hall
Viaduct that had come into the ownership of Chorley Council but was in a poor state of
repair. Before going ahead, he photographed the structure and its numerous defects and
submitted a report to the regulatory body.
They deemed it not to be of historical value and the demolition went ahead in 1978.
