This is what was Werneth Railway Station. For awhile it was Oldham's railway station since there is a ridge between it and Oldham itself. To get to this point the railway line was the steepest in the country - it climbing from Middlet Junction. Later they put in a less steep line via Hollywood and 2 tunnels to reach Oldham.
