Sankey Station
Sankey Station on the Liverpool/Manchester line. Looks like it's undergoing a bit of renovation. At one point the station was being closed but if they are working on it then perhaps its future is assured for now...

Great Sankey Post Office 1976
Once, the staggered crossroads in the middle of Sankey used to boast on its four corners, a pub, a police station, a church and a post office. While the first three retain their original function, the post office has become an estate agents and the crossroads now has traffic lights, pedestrian barriers and a traffic island.
