Moston station 1977
Moston station from the footpath to the east of the railway cutting. Beyond the station is a petrol station selling National Benzole fuel and a private preparatory school. Rapid vegetation growth since the 1980s make this view unrepeatable, though the station is still in use, minus both buildings shown.

Moston station, looking north in 1972
Moston station with its full 1930s station buildings in June 1972. The signal shown indicates that Moston Junction signalbox was still in use: it was destroyed by a suspicious fire in November 1973 and the signal replaced by a more modern, colour-light item, controlled from Vitriol Works signalbox, a short distance to the north of Moston station.

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.

Moston station, looking north 1989
By 1989 New Moston was an area in rapid decline. Moston station echoed that decline with reduced facilities and an increasingly derelict appearance. The weather had to be truly atrocious to make one use the breeze block shelter on the Rochdale platform. An absence of tall chimneys over the brow of Hollinwood Avenue bridge indicates that Chadderton power station has been demolished.

Moston railway station, Greater Manchester
Opened in 1879 by the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway on its line from Manchester Victoria to Rochdale. The entrance on Hollinwood Road is not particularly well signposted. The entrance to the Rochdale-bound platform is across the road on the right. The entrance to the Manchester-bound platform has a small National Rail (former BR) 'Double Arrows' symbol in the middle distance - easily missed.
