| This looks like Wilmslow. If so, the train is on the line to Manchester via Stockport, the platforms on the right being on the Stockport avoiding line via Styal. |

| Under a powerful glass the name on the lamp is about the right length, the final letter is almost certainly W and has what could well be an M in the middle, which would seem to confirm Wilmslow. |

| If anybody confirms my ident of of this station as Wilmslow, the date will be after May 1909 when the Styal line opened to passengers. |

Ronnie Gee was relief station supervisor at Wilmslow, and is quite certain this is Wilmslow by reason of some small details which I was told but cannot remember.
One thing about that photo which interests me is the train in the distance. It is too unclear to be certain but it does not look like an LNWR engine. So I wonder if it is a North Staffordshire Railway engine. I know they used to work along that line, having reached it via Sandbach. Can some one tell us anything about the workings? |
