323239, an ex-British Rail class 323 passenger train from Glossop leaves Flowery Field Station en-route for Manchester. The British Rail Class 323 electric multiple units (EMUs) were built by Hunslet TPL from 1992-93. Forty-three 3-car units were built for inner-suburban services around Birmingham and Manchester. These trains were the last vehicles to be built by the struggling manufacturer Hunslet before it collapsed. These trains were amongst the last constructed in the UK before rail privatisation. From 2006-2016 the Glossop line was operated by Northern Rail. The franchise has now been passed to Arriva Rail North who operate under the name "Northern". Flowery Field station opened in May 1985.

An extract from Thomas Middleton's book "The Annals of Hyde" (1899) reads: ROSEMOUNT PRIMITIVE METHODIST CHAPEL. Sunday evening services in connection with this place of worship were started in a cottage in Flowery Field in the "forties." among the principal attenders being Mr. S. Beeley and Mr. T. Stafford. In 1852, a cottage in Ashton Road was fitted up as a chapel, and in the same year a Sunday school was formed, one of the first members being Mr. T. Beeley, C.A., J.P. This institution carried on a night school to which many people of the district were indebted for their education. The instruction was imparted on the Mutual Improvement principle, those being able to read and write transmitting their knowledge to the rest. In 1860 it was found necessary to increase the chapel accommodation and shortly afterwards a new place of worship was built. After ten years' service this building also was found insufficient for the growing needs, and the present handsome structure at Rosemount was erected, and opened on July 9th, 1876. A spacious school was added in 1884. Both school and chapel are in a flourishing condition. The chapel was demolished in 1977. The congregation merged with Trinity Methodists and moved into the adjacent former school. Image Image
