The small door to the right of the bridge marks the former entrance to Miles Platting station, abandoned as unviable in the 1980s. Once a major railway site, changes since the late 1980s have removed all trackside traces of the station and its extensive offices. The coloured brickwork marks the course of the sloping access to the Ashton-Manchester platform, one of four at the station.
