Manchester Martyrs
On 11th September 1867, the police arrested two men for behaving suspiciously in a doorway. The two, Colonel T.J.Kelly and Captain Deasy, were leading figures in the Fenian Rising. A week later, the prison van that carried the two handcuffed from court to Belle Vue Prison was ambushed by a crowd of thirty armed Fenians who had been lying in wait for it. After fatally shooting a police officer, the Fenians escaped with Kelly and Deasy (still handcuffed) never to be recaptured. Three of the ambushers were later executed for the murder of the policeman and went down in Irish Republican history as the "Manchester Martyrs" http://www.prideofmanchester.com/mancirish/history1.htm
A plaque Image was erected on land by the side of the railway in 1989. The text reads "Fenian Ambush (September 1867) Site of the rescue of two Fenian prisoners. Following the shooting of a policeman three of the rescuers were executed at the last public hanging in the Manchester area (November 1867)."

Railway Depot, Longsight
London Midland and Scottish Railway Stanier Class 5 4-6-0
842 of these wonderful examples of British engineering were built between 1934 and 1951. By 1968 all gone from British rails, but for 18 saved for preservation. 5305 was sold for scrap to Albert Drapers and Sons Ltd., but was restored and steamed again in 1976. 5305 was active on the West Highland Line, but was taken out of service from 1994 until 2003. Since then the locomotive has been at the Great Central Railway and was receiving repairs in 2007 and remains the property of Albert Drapers and Son Ltd., but looked after by the 5305 Locomotive Association.
There was an Open Day at the Longsight Depot on this day. The depot still remains, but Longsight Station has long gone.
