Chadderton Junction
The Chadderton Goods line was a short branch built by the L&YR in 1914. It left the Middleton Junction to Oldham line at Chadderton Junction, about 400 yards from Middleton Junction. Chadderton Junction and its signal box closed with the line to Oldham in 1963 leaving just a plain single track to Chadderton until complete closure in 1988. In this 2024 view at Chadderton Junction the group of walkers are following the trackbed bridleway towards Chadderton. All trace of the line to Oldham has disappeared beneath a business park.
