A classic Cheshire Lines Committee railway station, still very much in use by British Rail when photographed. However, the building's days as a railway facility were numbered, not least as its position on the Liverpool-bound side of the station was inconvenient for both staff and passengers, the latter being foremost commuters into Manchester using the opposite side of the station. For a 2009 view of the same building, see: http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1493469
