  • Opposite the little cottages was the back of Great Uncle Len's cottage with its gardens and greenhouses. A few years after he retired he moved to a council flat and the house and gardens were removed, The land became a hardstanding for a temporary satelite Fire Station but then this was demolished and it is now private car parking.

    I believe the old wooden sleepers are still in situ between the lines where the level crossing was.

  • The level crossing was just beyond the older iron foot bridge in the distance. In Hazel Grove we would walk up the road next to the Grapes Hotel which my Great Aunt ran years ago (Hatherlow Lane I think that was what it was called) and cross the Davenport Road and past a few cottages (still there) and carefully walk across the railway line where the level crossing, On the other side a little lane led past the figure of eight fishing pool to a footbridge over the other railway line.

  • What a good film. Watched a few times trying to work out whether we were looking down to Manchester or up towards Buxton.

    My Great Uncle was level crossing keeper there and when retired they let him stay in the cottage.

    He used to grow vegetables (property of railway co.) in the garden which were sold to hotels in Manchester. A clock was hung in the kitchen windw facing out so he could watch the time to open the gates for the trains, They were left open for the farmers. All gone now.

  • excellent quality footage there!!!

  • well done good video A++++++++ 100%
