Dist:0.6km north<br/>Known as Crows Nest Bridge, Crows Nest Lock is in view beyond. In 1845 the Trent & Mersey was taken over by the North Staffordshire Railway Co., the bridge has a definite "railway" appearance.

Dist:0.9km south<br/>The signalbox dated from the 1960's electrification of the Manchester-Crewe line. The photo was taken in 2004, before the completion of the Manchester South resignalling project replaced it. It had been demolished by 2008 (see separate photo [[807686]]).

Dist:1.0km south<br/>This must have been a day when the traction current was off either for maintenance or due to a power cut, as the normal all-stations service from Manchester to Crewe was being operated by a diesel unit - and of a type that was already old, being superseded by 'Sprinters' for regular services. Nowadays if the current was off you would be lucky to get a substitute bus!
