Ashton: Looking west from the station
The Distant signal is actually not a fixed Distant, although it is seldom, if ever, pulled off. This is taken looking west from Ashton station, which formerly was known as Ashton (Charlestown), in the days when Ashton had no less than five stations.

End of platform 2, Ashton-under-Lyne railway station
The tracks cross Turner Lane bridge, just beyond the end of the platform. The bridge was clearly built to accommodate an extra track, which has since been lifted. In the distance, the tracks then go beneath the A627 Oldham Road bridge.

Charlestown - 1971
Last of the old Victorian houses in Charlestown being demolished, early in 1971. Not sure of the exact location, but it was just to the north of Charlestown Station, on one of the streets off Turner Lane or Yorkshire Street.
