| Description |
English: Macclesfield Hibel Road railway station (site), Cheshire Opened in 1849 by the London & North Western Railway on what is now the line from Manchester to Stafford, this station closed in 1960 when services were transferred to the current station some 500m south of here, behind the camera position. View north from Hibel Road bridge, where the booking office was located. The whole location was very cramped, with an engine shed and turntable having been located on the right of the image. The bare patch of ground centre right was the approximate site of a temporary passenger station when the line from Marple was opened in 1869. The LNWR weren't interested in having a joint station, so services were transferred to a new "Central" station (where the current Macclesfield station is) in 1873 but the 1869 station continued as a good station until 1969. |
