The old platform, Biddulph Station
Apart from a cottage just out of sight on the left, this is all that remains of what was once Biddulph Railway Station. The area to rear is now a carpark that opens onto the aptly named Smokies Way.

The old station
Across the road from here, on the Biddulph Valley Way, was the old Biddulph Railway Station- the remains of the platform can be seen here
Image There would have originally been a level-crossing here and the house on the right would have probably been the crossing keeper's dwelling. See also Ben Brooksbank's excellent picture taken in 1962:
