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.

Local shops - Broadway
Some of the shops south of Broadway Baths have mainly sustained the same trades for the past 50 years. Under its 1960s owners, the grocery store was something of an innovator, providing both the first "mini market" (i.e. a diminutive self-service supermarket) in the local area and "Green Shield" trading stamps, an early form of loyalty scheme. The bookmakers seems to have been there for ever.

Broadway Leisure Centre
Otherwise known as "Broadway Baths", the building dates from the 1930s and is proudly adorned with the City of Manchester's crest. Two separate baths were provided, each marked by a peaked roof. Generations of schoolchildren from New Moston and Chadderton learned to swim here - whether they wanted to or not.

Local shops - Broadway at Moston Lane East
All four corners of the junction between the two roads were provided with shops as part of the design when Broadway was built in the late 1920s. There were traditionally a few niggles between those shops on this (Manchester) side of Moston Lane East and those on the north side which benefited from rather lower business rates from Oldham council. Under various names, a chip shop and newsagent have been in business in the same premises for at least 50 years. The curry take-away is rather more recent.
