When I was a toddler (around 1959-60), my grandfather used to take me to watch it shunting as part of a regular afternoon walk. It may only have been steamed once a week by then. <br /><br />The sidings would have been taken out of use in the mid 1960s. Little Enoch remained out of use at the works for some time afterwards until it was scrapped.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-74291497232268579222013-01-25T14:14:59.178+00:002013-01-25T14:14:59.178+00:00Thank you, Graham, for this fantastic set of photo...Thank you, Graham, for this fantastic set of photos. I must confess that I could never understand why Hyde North was there at all as far as passenger services were concerned. It used to annoy me no end that the trains had to stop there for little or no business when Hyde Central was a mere 2 minutes further down the line. That was long ago of course when I travelled by train to work at Gorton and later at Piccadilly. Today I'm even more baffled because of the presence of Flowery Field station which also serves the area and on a line with a more frequent service. Ah well, maybe the Village Hotel does well out of it!<br /><br />It is St Stephen's church on the 2nd photo, but what a fantastic view of Adamson's on one of the others. More photos please.Werneth Lownoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-16965720422865727042013-01-24T12:22:28.874+00:002013-01-24T12:22:28.874+00:00

Drivers delivering drums to Fletcher Millers use to get a penny for each drum transported on their wagons. This was saved until Christmas when the driver received one lump sum. Denton had the only crane in the area for lifting steel plate and heavy boilers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
