Bass Lane is the one thing about Summerseat you just have to learn to live with. The single track road (with occasional passing places) drops down towards the village from the nearby M66 junction and regularly snarls up in the rush hour with traffic cutting through.

This part of Waterside Road and the bridge over the river are the other stretches of single track in the village and also get busy at peak times.

These pink flowers look like some kind of orchid and are absolutely everywhere at the moment.

I'm not sure what happened to the summer but these shots were grabbed in between passing clouds. The above sign is on Summerseat train station which is a stop on the East Lancashire Railway line.

Railway Street used to be lined with houses on both sides of the road but the row closest to the river was knocked down 30 or 40 years ago. One of the village's biggest attractions is Summerseat Garden Centre which lies just beyond these houses.

Plantation View overlooks Summerseat Park and is one of a number of three storey terraces originally built for local mill workers.
