Hi all,
I have just found this forum, and have read with interest all these tidbits about Swinton and Pendlebury stations. I attended St. Augustine's school just opposite the old station site, and we sometimes messed around on the old Black Harry Tunnel entrance, which by that time - late 1980's - had been sealed up and track lifted!
I myself have been to Salford local hsitory library and I have found some goodish shots for Swinton station.
However, I'm particularly interested in the goods yard and goods facilities at Swinton... I have seen from the Salford photos and an old OS map that there is a fairly good sized yard and shed at Swinton.
Does anyone have any info regarding the buildings and facilities at Swinton Goods Yard?
By the way Neil, you have posted a picture of Swinton that I have been looking around for for the past 4 months! THANKS!
Ben
