Atherton Goods Yard signalbox
The goods yard disappeared 50 years ago and the signalbox has been manned only for the rush-hours and unscheduled diversions for many years. Both it and the signalboxes at Walkden and Crow Nest Junction (Hindley) will disappear under a resignalling scheme planned for 2013.

Atherton station - exterior view
The station building was built to a standard pattern for the new, direct route to Wigan and Liverpool Exchange of the former Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway. The large enamelled plate above the car on the right still carries the name Atherton Central station. Note the number of crossbars on the telegraph pole, indicative of the amount of railway communications circuits once required. For a view 35 years on, see: http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2864364.
