Moston station with its full 1930s station buildings in June 1972. The signal shown indicates that Moston Junction signalbox was still in use: it was destroyed by a suspicious fire in November 1973 and the signal replaced by a more modern, colour-light item, controlled from Vitriol Works signalbox, a short distance to the north of Moston station.
