I have just been out for a walk with my camera to get some snaps of Pendlebury Station as it stands now. I gained access to the railway embankment, I really shouldn't have I know, but it's all for the sake of local history





I took this picture from roughly the same perspective as the old picture, you can clearly see where the door once was, and if you look carefully you see a difference in the colour of bricks where the post box to the left of the station once was.



This picture is from the rear of the station, on the embankment, it is what is left of what supported the steps down to the platform by the looks of it.

This next one is took looking towards what would have been the back of the station, it looks to me that this was what would have been the top of the steps leading to the platform.



This was towards the bottom of what would have been the steps, looks like an old notice board.



Here is another one of the staircase support, from a different perspective.



Here is a picture taken from the bridge off Ethel Avenue, you can clearly see where the platform once once between the two tracks.



And finally, this is taken from the side of what was the main building of the station.

I've recently found out that there was a brick works close to where I live in Pendlebury.

Iv never known this or seen any pictures of it, just wondering if anybody has any more information on it.
