This is Moore station, on the main Grand Junction line, looking north-east to Warrington, three miles away.
In the distance, 250 yards beyond the station, the two spans of Moss Lane overbridge can be seen; the arch on the right was the original bridge over the 1837 GJ line, the (plate girder?) bridge on the left was built over the 1893 deviation which climbed at 1 in 135 to the high Acton Grange viaduct over the Manchester Ship Canal.
After the deviation line was opened the old line was used as sidings for a few years, but by the date of the photograph the sidings had gone and the main Up line passed under the GJ arch while the Down line went under the newer bridge.
The signal cabin appears to be of Saxby & Farmer's 'northern' type.
For such a tiny village, Moore was well-served by the railway. Just 300 yards away to the right was Daresbury station on the LNW & GW Joint - the old Birkenhead Railway. Moore station closed in 1943, Daresbury in 1952. |
