THIS picture shows the start of the building of the former Atherleigh railway station.
The station was opened in 1935 by the London Midland and Scottish Railway to serve housing estates built after the First World War.
It was located on the west side of the railway at Westbourne Avenue in Atherton with a connecting footbridge between the two parts of the road.
The station was closed in 1954.
