Dont know if this thread is still live - Ive just recently renewed my interest in Pendlebury since I was born there and keen to renew my memories of the area. Pendlebury station did exist in 1960 when I left the area. Perhaps someone can recall whether the walkway leading down to the steps to the platform was made up of sleeper type wooden beams as I  seem to recall. Also what happened to the other pair of lines which I believe formed some sort of station bypass. We, as kids, used to refer to the two pairs of lines as fast and shunt lines. Living in Shirley ave. at the top of Agecroft hill we spent most of our spare time train spotting from the sand-hills now built up with a housing development. The Acme mill we walked past when using a footpath which led to the Victoria Park and park Clinic. Any other recollections would be very interesting.
