Middleton Junction
Looking east along what was by then just the Chadderton Coal Concentration Depot line, from the Rochdale Canal bridge, on 22nd June 1985. Ahead, the line curves left at the old Chadderton Junction, where the lifted line to Oldham Werneth originally carried straight on. By this time the coal trains only had another three years to run and the tracks had been lifted by 1991. The canal bridge has since been demolished but the old line can be walked from there to Chadderton on a public greenway. Photo by Alan Hampson.
