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.
