Early bridge spanning the River Bollin, connecting Bollin Hall Farm to Cow Lane. The bridge was positioned slightly to the east of where the Wilmslow North exit roundabout is today located on the Wilmslow by-pass.

Interesting to see this surprisingly large array of advertising hoardings along the station approach at this rather rural looking location. Advertisements include Cadbury's, Colman's, Shinio - metal polish and possibly Bulmer's Cider over a picture of some apples. At least it shows the advertising industry was familiar with the apostrophe in 1932.

This set of buildings and the spaces in between are given over to timber processing. There are heaps of trees in the round, roughly sawn boards and some sawn timber next to the mill at the left of the site. There are also cone shapes stocks of poles and possibly even heaps of firewood. It has the air of local timber yard, taking local wood and providing for local needs, which is supported by the lack of private railway siding.

A LNWR signal box built on a framework over the sidings below. A space saving technique sometime used to install a larger signal box at locations where there was insufficient space on the ground.

River Bollin. The river to the right moves on to Styal Cotton Mill (now National Trust) where it can still drive a large water wheel.

The left hand pair of lines will shortly curve away to Manchester Airport and Styal before heading to rejoin the other pair of lines North of Levenshulme Station at Ardwick Junction. The right hand pair of lines are heading for Cheadle Hulme, Stockport and on to Manchester Piccadilly.
