Werneth

A rather dishevelled looking Cravens class 105 dmu, forming the 10.40 Manchester Victoria to Rochdale via Oldham Mumps arrives at Werneth on 10/4/1976. The original line from Middleton Junction carried straight on along the space to the right beyond the Featherstall road bridge, and down the famous 1:27 incline. The storage yard to the right was originally a goods yard, full of sidings. Nowadays the Metrolink trams come under the bridge and make a sharp left turn, over what used, many years ago, the goods yards.
