The first post on this blog in April 2013 featured the sign at the eastern entrance to Stockport station.
This is the western entrance which leads into a subway that passes under the station. Steps and lifts connect the subway to the platforms.
The station was opened on 15 February 1843, by the Manchester and Birmingham Railway, following completion of the railway viaduct to the north. After operation by the London and North Western Railway, it became part of the London Midland and Scottish Railway, in 1923. The station was known as Stockport Edgeley to differentiate it from Stockport Tiviot Dale, which closed in 1967.
A contribution to Ruby Tuesday and Our World Tuesday.
I find my eyes drawn to the old brick alongside the entrance.
ReplyDeleteLike William, I find myself drawn to the texture of the brick, but then it is equally appropriate for a Ruby Tuesday.
