Plodder Lane railway station served the southern part of Bolton and the western, Highfield, part of Farnworth. The station was located on the southern side of a bridge carrying Plodder Lane, the present B6199. The wooden station building was at road level with steps down to both platforms. Plodder Lane station was on the London and North Western Railway route between Bolton Great Moor Street and Manchester Exchange.
|
|
The station opened on 1 April 1875 and was sometimes known as Plodder Lane for Farnworth. There was a nearby locomotive shed, also named Plodder Lane. The station was the first one to the south of , the line's northern terminus. The station closed on 29 March 1954 and was demolished in the Winter of 1955–56.
|

The shed was built on a plot north of Plodder Lane (now the B6199) and Plodder Lane station. The engine shed, turntable, coaling and watering facilities were on the western side of the line, with a goods shed and yard on the eastern side. The shed was built in Ramsbottom's hipped-roof style and could accommodate twelve locomotives. In 1890 work started to enlarge the shed's facilities.

Plodder Lane shed closed in October 1954.

On 10 October 1932, a mine-shaft elevator carrying 20 people fell at the mine, killing all but one person. In 1933, Abram Colliery closed and its shafts to the Arley mine were taken over by Bickershaw.

Nos. 3 and 4 shafts were deepened to yards and yards respectively, taking the shaft bottoms just below the Plodder seam.

A branch line leaving the Tyldesley to Eccles line at Roe Green Junction with stations at Walkden, Little Hulton and Plodder Lane was authorised in 1865 and opened in 1870. The line was extended to Great Moor Street in Bolton in 1874. Monton Green station between Eccles station and Worsley station opened in 1877 to serve new housing.

During this period, further seams were worked including the Cannel, Victoria, Crumbouke and Five Quarters mines. In 1910, a tunnel was driven to connect to the Plodder Mine, which gave the mine a further lease of life until the river found a crack in the fault and flooded it and it was abandoned. Other seams were starting to be work out and, coupled with a miners' strike in 1921, the colliery was run down and closed in 1928.

The company mined the Trencherbone, Plodder and Arley seams.

James Roscoe and Sons was formed in 1892 remaining in operation until 1938 when Peel Collieries took over. New Lester's shafts were deepened to access the Arley mine in the early 1890s where 'Arley slack', poor quality coal for industrial use was mined. The colliery also won coal from the Yard mine which was known here as the Denner Main, the Four foot, Cannel, Plodder and Three Quarters mines. In 1939 the colliery employed 499 men underground and 169 surface workers and three years later 15 men underground and 13 on the surface.

In the deep mines at the southern edge of the coalfield, the Plodder mine in Leigh and the Arley mine in Tyldesley were hot: the miners worked in temperatures of over 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38 °C). Five substantial faults affect the Wigan Coalfield; they run nearly parallel to and equidistant from each other. The Great Haigh Fault begins near Bickershaw Colliery and passes northward through Hindley, Kirkless Hall, Haigh, and Arley to the west of Adlington Park. The Great Standish or St Catherine's Fault has a downthrow to the east and passes under St Catherine's Church at Ince.

Witcover, Marathon, p. 88.White, The Making of the President, 1968, p. 40. Reporter Jack Germond joked that he was going to add a single key on his typewriter that would print, "Romney later explained...." Life magazine wrote that Romney "manages to turn self-expression into a positive ordeal" and that he was no different in private: "nobody can sound more like the public George Romney than the real George Romney let loose to ramble, inevitably away from the point and toward some distant moral precept." The perception grew that Romney was gaffe-prone and a plodder.

In 1883, he told the graduating class of Jefferson Medical College that, > I think that the cultivation of the humane letters has the most distinct > bearing on the cultivation and appreciation of science.

A Sandy Turnbull goal settled the tie, which was described as quite a boring game; Meredith himself dismissed reports of the match, stating "it was a good game for dashing, keen, thrilling football, great goalkeeping and narrow escapes at either end". Meredith and his teammates celebrated the victory with music hall stars such as George Robey. United finished fifth in 1909–10 and exited the FA Cup at the First Round with a defeat to Burnley at Turf Moor. However the club continued to advance under the generous chairmanship of John Henry Davies, and Old Trafford was opened in February 1910. Harold Halse was to partner Meredith at inside- right for the 1910–11 season, but proved too much of a "free-spirit" and was replaced by Jack Picken, a "plodder [who] understands what Meredith requires".

In 1930–31, Whelan was a regular at full back for the reserves in the North- Eastern League, and played eight First Division matches, including the last five of the season. The Sunderland Echo's "Argus" described his performance against Chelsea as that of a "plodder" who would do better if he played the ball along the ground rather than lofting his forward passes, and that in the next match as "much below the standard of the rest of the side". Nevertheless, he was again retained for another season, though he played no more first-team football. Listed for transfer in April 1932, he signed for Third Division South club Southend United within days; "Argus" wrote that as "one of those die-hard types of a footballer, Whelan ought to do well in Third Division football", and that some fans thought he had "not been fully appreciated" at Sunderland.
