Former Withington Town Hall
This Grade II listed building is now used as commercial offices. It is in the Albert Park conservation area. Manchester City Council's description of the conservation area http://www.manchester.gov.uk/site/scripts/documents_info.php?categoryID=511&documentID=1210&pageNumber=3 tells us: "Withington Town Hall, originally the local Board of Health offices, was built in buff brick with richly decorated dressings of red brick and terracotta. These form elliptical arches over the first floor windows. The parapet is decorated with finials and has a central gable, behind which is a clock turret surmounted by a weathervane."

Withington & West Didsbury railway station (site), Greater Manchester
Opened in 1880 as "Withington" by the Midland Railway on the line from Chinley to Manchester Central, this station became "Withington & Albert Park" in 1884 and finally "Withington & West Didsbury" in 1914. It closed to passengers in 1961.
View north west towards Chorlton-cum-Hardy and Manchester. The only remnant appears to be the cobbled former forecourt off Lapwing Lane. The site lies about halfway between the tram stops at Burton Road and West Didsbury on Manchester Metrolink, which was built on the course of the original railway line.
