Waiting for signals, Vulcan Halt ? 1966
The station was a very basic structure, built to serve the adjacent Vulcan Foundry engineering works. It had closed to passengers the previous year. The line was the original Warrington an Newton Railway, built in 1831 as a branch off the Liverpool and Manchester Railway, and in 1837 becoming part of the Grand Junction Railway to Birmingham.
The locomotive is 92116, a British Railways Standard Class 9 2-10-0 on a freight train.

Vulcan Village, Derby Row
The Vulcan Village Conservation Area has 114 properties. With the exception of two, all the buildings are modest two storey domestic dwellings of 19th Century origin and style. All of the residential properties are in six rows of terraces (Manchester, Liverpool, Derby, Sheffield, Chester and London Row) with narrow frontages directly onto the footways.
This is Wargrave Road, looking south through the village; on the right hand side is Derby Row. To the left is The Vulcan Inn.
