Moston station, main building 1989
By 1989 New Moston was an area in rapid decline. The railway infrastructure reflected this with graffiti on the remaining building and a steel shutter on the booking office door.

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 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 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 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.
