UNIQUE artefacts from the past 200 years will feature in an exhibition at the Heritage Centre in Beaumont Road, Horwich, from Saturday March 24.
The Mayor of Horwich, Bernard McCartin, and Mayor of Bolton, Walter Hall, will be unveiling two new additions.
A gatepost from the Fall Birch Toll Bar will be on show for the first time since the Turnpike closed 130 years ago.
For 50 years in the 19th century it operated as part of the Bolton to Horwich turnpike running along what is now Chorley New Road.
A wooden mining tub, used to transport coal and clay and which has been restored, will also be on display.
It is the last surviving example of more than 150 tubs which were carried on a tramway using an endless metal chain.
Stuart Whittle, chairman of Horwich Heritage, said: "These items represent important features in Horwich's industrial history which need to be preserved for posterity."
