A keen walker and birdwatcher, Tockholes is an area Brian visited regularly over the years – including Higher Roddlesworth Reservoir and Lower Hoddlesworth Reservoir.

Bolton Mountain Rescue, Bowland and Pennine Mountain Rescue and Rossendale Mountain Rescue teams, are assisting Police with the search and the teams are providing their help, expertise and knowledge.

As part of the search for Brian, Police continue to ask for dashcam footage from the A675 Belmont Road – from Abbey Village to Tockholes – between 1.30pm and 2.30pm on Saturday.

Brian was driving a grey-coloured Citroen C4 Cactus car, registration WP64HSC, which was found parked in a layby on the A675, near to Tockholes Road.
