Llandudno - Sheffield express approaching Cheadle Heath
View NW, towards the Cheadle Junction (CLC), Skelton Junction and Warrington: ex-Midland loop from the Cheshire Lines Glazebrook - Stockport line. The train is passing Cheadle Heath North Box, controlling the junction with the main ex-Midland line from Manchester Central (closed 6/3/67) which is visible behind it, Cheadle Heath Station being off to the right. This Summer Saturdays express, headed by Stanier 5MT 4-6-0 No. 44831 (built 1944, withdrawn 11/67), took an unusual route from Chester, turning off the GW & LNW Joint line at Warrington Arpley and following the LNW line through Lymm to join the CLC line at Skelton Junction; from Cheadle Heath it made for Chinley then by the Hope Valley line to Sheffield.

Site of Cheadle Heath (Stockport) Station
View SE, towards Chinley, Sheffield, Derby etc.; ex-Midland, Heaton Mersey - New Mills cut-off, built 1902 to allow direct access to Manchester Central, the Cheshire Lines (CLC) and Liverpool avoiding Stockport. The station, closed on 1/1/67 (goods on 1/7/68), had been a substantial one of five platforms, serving a local service to/from Manchester Central. The lines were busy also with through express and stopping trains from London (St Pancras) via Derby and from Sheffield (Midland) until 6/3/67, and carried an intensive freight traffic. Manchester Central itself and the line thence from Heaton Mersey were closed on 5/5/69, and from soon after the tracks through the site of Cheadle Heath were reduced to a single line, used mainly for the Tunstead - Northwich limestone trains. This photograph was taken before the inevitable Super-Store grew up, on the right.

Go Outdoors, Cheadle
In weather like this, going outdoors isn't what you want to do. It isn't obviously apparent, but the depth of water in parts of the car park was a couple of inches, enough to wet any unsuspecting footwear.
