Ruined chapel at Gorton Cemetery
This building has been used as a political football between conservationists and the local Council for years and years.
Funeral mourners passing through the cemetery are bound to be shocked by the state of the place,
and it is hardly a fitting background for the War Memorial.

Reddish Loco Depot
Rows of class 76 1500v DC electric locomotives stand beside the depot buildings. Built for the Woodhead route in the early 1950's, the decision in the late 1950's to go for 25Kv AC traction on future electrifications made them obsolescent overnight. The Woodhead route closed in 1981 and the class were withdrawn en-masse in July of that year.
