Hi Tony
Yeh... remember Beverly Rd well, my brother Arthur used to be friends with a lad Stephen Wittingham and I remember Susan Grundy from school whose father run a taxi service we used often. All a little later as you say before your move.
Alas the fast lines have gone as have the bridge over Agecroft rd. and nature has reclaimed the trackbed. We also ventured to Pendlebury station on occasions without our parents knowledge. We got on well with the station master, who's name I forget, observers book of trains in one hand and the train spotters bible by Ian Allen in the other.
But watching the jubs thundering up the bank from the sandhills was a wonderful sight, sadly lost for ever. Many a day spent hoping for the 'double pegs' to arrive from Pendleton in the pouring rain was worth the scolding we got for missing tea-time. Glad to share the experience.
