Carved Tree Trunk Ten Acre Pits
Ten Acre Pits is a local community woodland on the Paramount estate, the name comes from the former marl pits which occupied the site in the 18th century. Popular with dog walkers and local children the paths meander through the small woodland and have wood carvings such as this on display and is a haven for wildllife.

Postbox, Blacklow Brow
Outside Huyton Station. This is an unusually large box for a wall box, so I included the car to give a sense of scale.

Huyton Station about 1970 - goods yard off platform 1
This small goods yard occasionally saw a LNWR G2a shunting up to about 1960. The red-brick toilet block was built about the time of the photograph (about 1970) to replace one on the redundant platform 4, but it was soon padlocked out of use.

Huyton Station about 1970 - commuters' train
A DMU disgorges a heavy load of passengers from Lime Street at just after 5pm. Huyton Station was inconceivably posted for closure by Dr Beeching; it is now a very busy station, with an excellent and frequent local service.

Huyton Station - redundant platform 4, about 1970
A decade previously the early morning newspaper train called here (often with 42606 at the head) with papers for Barlow's newsagents - it was a special treat to be put on collection duties instead of the usual newspaper round.

Trans-Pennine DMU at Huyton
One of the stylish early long-distance DMU units for which the name "Trans-Pennine" was coined belts through platform 2 bound (probably) for Hull. Huyton's signalbox, with a clear view to Roby, can be seen at the end of platform 2/3.

Huyton Station about 1970 - Wigan slow line just taken up
The flagged pathway led from platform 4 to Poplar Bank, where there was a bus terminal for the no 75 bus. Before the track was lifted trains to Wigan North Western had gone this way, but from this time onwards would be diverted over the fast lines. A DMU approaches from Manchester or Wigan.
