Seen in February 1983 from a viewpoint just up Brownhill Lane and by the pedestrian entrances to the closed Saddleworth station, 5151 waits to turn out of Dobcross New Road towards Uppermill. The steep road to the right of and above the bus is Nicker Brow, a pack horse route which crossed the river just behind the bus on a single stone arch, the remains of which are still visible from the main road. This pack horse route then continued up to Saddleworth church. Nicker Brow is now only a footpath. The tower on the horizon is that of Holy Trinity Church, Dobcross, which was the first village church in Saddleworth. Consecrated in 1787, the church's Italianate tower is a later addition, being built in 1844.
