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.

Moston railway station, Greater Manchester, 2009
Opened in 1879 by the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway on its line from Manchester Victoria to Rochdale. View south towards Manchester in deceptively verdant surroundings, some 8 years before the platform shelters were replaced. See
Image for a 2019 view in the opposite direction.

Moston station, looking north
View north from Moston station's Manchester-bound platform, taken around 15.00 on a very wet April 9th, 2008. First bridge is Hollinwood Avenue (A6104); the second is the M60 motorway. Pylon visible through the bridge effectively marks the site of the former Chadderton electricity generating station, now Broadway business park.

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.
