View north from Nuthurst Road bridge 1977
A train from Leeds to Manchester Victoria (despite the destination shown) has recently left Moston station. The line runs in a deep cutting from Hollinwood Avenue to Nuthurst Road passing under a pipe bridge in the middle distance which carries Manchester's drinking water supply from Thirlmere to Audenshaw Reservoir. Prior to 1973, Moston Junction signalbox was located immediately left of the train's front cab. The top right-hand view is dominated by Chadderton electricity generating station and its cooling towers.

Moston station becoming derelict
By February 1989, the main building's rendering had disappeared and the waiting room had had all breakables removed, effectively leaving a brick-lined space. In terminal decline.

Lightbowne Road, Moston
A dual carriageway which is usually under less traffic pressure than other arterial roads into Manchester. However this one doesn't go all the way, which perhaps makes it a bit quieter.

Local shops - Broadway at Nuthurst Road
Following Broadway's construction in the late 1920s, a small row of shops was constructed in the south-west corner of the two roads' intersection. A wider variety of shops was constructed slightly further north where Broadway meets Moston Lane East.
