Trolley Trestle
Bring a little South Bolton home.
Corkwood Coaster Set · Four pieces · 3.75 × 3.75 inches
The cups are ready for tea, with coasters set out around the table and a little time to notice the pictures before everyone settles into a seat. South Bolton's trolley trestle rises above railway tracks, with the structure itself giving this transport view its focus rather than a passing vehicle.
A 1902 published view records South Bolton's trolley trestle above railroad tracks. The source contains no trolley or locomotive. Its subject is the structure itself, showing how two transport routes crossed at different levels within the village's landscape at the beginning of the twentieth century.
The two levels show how village routes crossed. Put them where the kettle's cups are usually gathered, so the view has a place in the ordinary routine of tea at home.
