31160 arrives at Chadderton Goods with full HEA wagons. The two men on the left had just fitted the new stop block. Unfortunately they fitted it 90° out and the train smashed it off.
The line was originally built by the L&Y as a branch off the line from Middleton Junction to Oldham Werneth, better known as the Werneth incline at 1:27. The branch split at Chadderton Junction, had an occupation crossing for Fearney Field Farm, then passed under Hunt Lane.
Coal for Oldham's cotton mills was the main commodity for Chadderton Goods although for a while it had an oil terminal as well. When this photo was taken the goods yards was owned by British Fuels Ltd. who brought in coal by rail and distributed it out by road.

The two men on the right had just installed a new stop block, supposedly to stop runaway wagon out of the yard. Their drill bit wasn't long enough to drill through the thicker section, so they installed it 90° out, by drilling through the thinner section. This meant the new piece of wood, they had just installed, didn't move far enough back and was promptly ripped off by the first HEA wagon as it passed.
The three posts for "Stop and await instruction" board are next to the men although the sign had been missing for a few years.
A chance grab whilst walking out the Town Centre to catch up with 429, the sole spare short E200MMC was luckily in the area on a winner route...

The Chadstone Shopping Centre is outside the City of Monash, but it's just across (the numerous lanes of) Dandenong Road from Hughesdale. Built on the site of the Convent of the Good Shepherd, Oakleigh, starting with their paddocks and later the land that hosted its imposing Gothic stone buildings (demolished by Whelan The Wrecker in 1986), Chadstone was recognised from the outset as a regional shopping centre. Popularly known as Chaddy, it opened on 3 October 1960 and has grown through a series of extensions. See locale on Google Maps.

Chadstone Shopping Centre is a super regional shopping centre located in the inner south-eastern suburb of Malvern East in the city of Melbourne, Australia and is thebiggest shopping centre in Australia. The centre opened on 3 October 1960 and was the first self‐contained regional shopping centre in Melbourne.
The centre contains 129,924m2 of shop floor space, about 510 stores and more than 9300 free car parking spaces. It claims to be the biggest shopping centre in theSouthern Hemisphere.[5][6] It has as many as 68,000 visitors on its busiest trading days and attracts about 400,000 tourists a year from interstate and 200,000 from overseas. Sales at the centre exceed $1.4 billion—the highest turnover of all Australian shopping centres—and it has more than 20 million visitors annually.
The centre, also known colloquially as "Chaddy", boasts major anchor stores such as the Myer and David Jones department stores, Coles, Woolworths and Aldi supermarkets, and Kmart and Target discount department stores as well as a Hoyts cinema multiplex, an AMF bowling alley, an Apple Store, Dick Smith and JB Hi-Fielectronics stores and more than 500 specialty stores, of which the majority are fashion-related, including numerous high-end labels. There are two food courts and also two office towers located at the southern side of the centre. The centre's owners have sought a further expansion to include a 180-room hotel and 15,000m2 of offices, to take total floor space to 221,217m2, including 156,924m2 of shop floor space.

School Photographs: students participate with reluctance, parents feel they ‘must have’ them, at least for grandparents and posterity. Love ‘em or hate ‘em — they have been around for a very long time — and probably will continue to be part of family memorabilia into the foreseeable future.
No doubt our 1955 class photograph is deeply resonant to those depicted — even more so in retrospect. It’s 57 years since the photographer gathered the young Year Four students of Chadstone Park Primary School before his tripod and camera. Despite this lapse in time, the appeal of his work remains quite intense — evoking humour, wonder and even a sense of mortality. Looking carefully at photographs can be quite revealing. Here are some thoughts:
Contemporary viewers might be quite shocked about our teacher : student ratio — 1 : 32 and there are a few absentees. Teachers’ ‘assistants’ were unheard of apart from religious instruction — which wasn’t a ‘formal’ part of the academic curriculum. Hardship in the workplace is relative. In the late 40s ratios of 1 : 60 in the Victorian public school system were quite common!
Even in the 50s, the teacher’s personality and demeanor seemed deeply significant. For example: Miss Maguire (in the previous year 3) is remembered as a severe old-maid (read: ‘crabby’) who would send the boys to the Headmaster for what she saw the slightest misconduct; Mr Hatter, on the other hand, was kindly-smiling gent, interested in mental arithmetic and art; Mr Bennett, depicted, was a ‘sports nut’, a celebrity amongst many, and just about nothing to the rest of us. I guess it has ever been thus — no teacher can be everything to everyone; to find a teacher who inspires learning and respects the children (over and above the system) remains one of those precious encounters with good fortune.
Despite the large numbers of children, classes seemed well-structured and generally happy places. Learning was the main purpose and this was never in doubt. Spelling, grammar, arithmetic, art and reading were all the responsibility of the one teacher. Homework was a dreaded ‘extra’. All facets were ‘corrected’ in red pencil and each week the class was re-ranked from top to bottom. The ‘good’ pupils sat in rows to the left and the ‘bad’ ones to the right — as the teacher looked out onto the sea of faces from his/her raised platform. Thus, hierarchy was ever emphasized: the teacher’s table was located above the student’s desks, and the distinction of ‘good’ from ‘dumb’ students was never in doubt.
Perhaps Primary School ‘order’ at this time was influenced by the most recent global event: the cessation of WW2 in 1945. Each week classes were lined up in chronological order from ‘bubs’ to year six with teachers grumbling that lines weren’t sufficiently straight. We all sang ‘God Save the Queen’ and uttered an oath to country; the Headmaster made strategic announcements like: the school fete would be held next weekend, or the playground looked disgraceful with papers blowing about… Then we would all march into class to the beat of a base drum and several kettle drummers. To be a school drummer was another of those pinnacles of achievement for boys. Girls were never drummers — they played the recorder in class concerts.
Class discipline wasn’t generally a problem. The shadow of punishment for misbehaving was ever-present and took numerous forms: standing in the corner or worse, the corridor; picking up papers in the playground; personal humiliation before the group: for example, ‘stand up Adrian and explain to everyone why you have those pencils stuck in your ears and nose’; boys were leather-strapped on the hands, arms or legs in full view of classmates (to cry was the ultimate humiliation and there were those who were thrashed into submission); being detained to write repetitive lines of “I must not ever speak etc etc) while the rest of the class was enjoying Friday afternoon sport and, again for boys — to be squeezed into a desk next to the fat/dumb girl was probably the ultimate ‘sentence’. This list is far from exhaustive — it was a lot easier to behave as required.
Why are all the students names Anglo-Celtic?
Where are the European migrants’ children who were so encouraged (unlike today) to settle and contribute to our economic development? In the late 40’s Chadstone was a remote south-eastern suburb of Melbourne. The primary school’s site was surrounded by paddocks that quickly became quarter acre lots and detached houses — suburbia. But the area had little or no public transport and certainly no commerce. It was an hour from Melbourne’s CBD on the red-rattling rail system. This was no place for German, Polish, Greek or Italian émigrés who needed some sense of urbanity. Chadstone was home to young Australians, many of whom had returned from war service with modest savings to settle and raise their families. Fresh air and quiet security was what they craved after the sleepless nights of war.
I recall the Paxinos girls, Evy and Mimi, and I had Elena Jakimoff in my class
Look closely at the class photograph: why are none of the children overweight? At Chadstone Park P.S. there was no Tuck Shop — and to be caught at the local general store resulted in dire consequences too horrid to contemplate. Mothers packed sandwiches and fruit in brown paper bags— and every school had a row of water bubblers. Every now and again a ‘treat’ of cheese or a biscuit might appear inside the tight parcel. Cool-kids had peanut butter sandwiches —others opened thick brown bread slices only to find the previous night’s leftovers. Sugar was in short supply in most school lunches. We didn’t realize how sensible our mothers were!
To ensure nutritious diets (and the farmer’s vote) Australian government(s) made bottled milk freely available to all young students. The local dairy would supply crates of milk early in the morning. Selected ‘milk monitors’ carried the crates to classrooms and returned the empty containers to a central point. Milk monitors were in a certain position of power: there was generally an over-supply of product and many competitions were held to see how many bottles could be drunk at a single time. Now there was a down-side to this privilege: refrigeration for the milk was unavailable. In the warmer months milk turned to cream, and then cream became close-to-butter without any quality control. As a result, many of us cannot cope with even the smell of the white stuff to this very day!
Perhaps the highlight of the children’s day was being outdoors — away from the heat and confinement of the classroom. Unrestrained freedom took two forms: Aussie-rules football and cricket were the only playground games for boys! The girls played ‘rounders’ which was a form of softball. I’m ashamed to say I haven’t a clue what else they did for fun.
Chadstone Park School was fortuitously located adjacent to a generous public open-space that included a football ground and pavilion, a separate cricket field , approximately six tennis courts and some acres of grass and well-established Australian native trees. ‘The Park’ was the epicenter of organized physical activities — mostly loved at the time but not always fondly remembered! How humiliating to be given out more than twenty times during a single lunch-break — the target of the school’s best bowlers; to be ‘lapped’ in long distance runs around the park’s perimeter after school; to be marked over at kick-to-kick; to be beaten more often than not at tennis. Such sporting activities established a new physical ‘order’ among the pupils. One learned (at least in my case) that ‘winning’ was a rare event and ‘defeat’ had to be assimilated as part of growing up.
Returning to the class photograph: Jon and I can remember over 90% of our class names. Nobody asked us to undertake this memory — like the twelve times tables or how to spell ‘receive’ (‘i’ before ‘e’ except after ‘c’ etc). Since the names and faces are etched in our psyches it must be meaningful?
At this youthful age of ten, our minds are open to learning concepts and retaining data. Memory is, however, selective and somewhat unreliable.
Kindergarten and Primary School are the first opportunities for children to socialize — puppy school for humans if you like. We remember the class bully (if there was one); the children who somehow seemed not-so-well-off — wearing old or unwashed clothes, sour-smelling bodies and uncombed hair were occasional signs; personalities were already forming: Helen Barlow never stopped talking or giggling, Peter Fisher was always the butt of jokes, Tommy Doughton was our ‘Ginger Meggs’ (happy and indestructible), Jillian Anderson was quietly confident — and one can verify that in her relaxed body-language in the picture... It’s tempting to suggest that much of one’s individual character is already in place at this stage — in fact, I shall. Humans are herd-animals, however, and Primary School is the first of several, more sophisticated learning encounters.
Our primary school years: four, five and six, passed in rapid succession. This same period of formative bliss was intersected by the 1956 Melbourne Olympics and the advent of black and white television. Mums, dads and children huddled round the windows of ‘electrical shops’ to see Shirley Strickland race to victory in the 80 metres hurdles. We also lined Dandenong Road to cheer on all the exhausted marathon runners. I have a vivid memory of a delirious Hungarian participant — was he running for his homeland or from the revolution, or both? Embarrassingly I don’t remember anything of our participants
The isolation of white Australia was nearly over — and so was our primary education. Jon headed off to Caulfield Grammar School where he later became school captain; I set a different course: Lloyd Street Central and Melbourne High School. University education and lives in Academe followed for both of us. Although we enjoyed different education systems and disciplines we have remained firm friends all these years.
“Chaddy Park” must have been a good start in life — well it was for the two of us!

A football match between a team of formerly homeless people and Greater Manchester Police (GMP) Tameside has raised £2,018 for the Greater Manchester Mayor’s Homelessness Fund.
On Sunday 21 October, more than 500 people turned out to support the Emmaus Vs GMP Tameside Charity Football Match at Seel Park in Mossley. The Emmaus team, which included former professional footballer Andy Ritchie and staff from Oldham Athletic, mostly consisted of formerly homeless people who are now supported by the charity.
The match was organised by GMPs Tameside Division with support from Emmaus Mossley, Mossley A.F.C and Oldham Athletic Community Trust (OACT). The game was played in good spirits with GMP Tameside taking the win with a score line of 8-2.
PC Steve Naylor from Greater Manchester Police, said: “What a fantastic day! Thanks to everyone who made it all possible, to all the generous businesses who donated raffle prizes, Mossley AFC for providing the venue, OACT for securing the services of Andy Ritchie, Andy himself and Chief Constable Ian Hopkins for presenting the awards.”
“I want to thank and congratulate all of the lads from each team who put on a great show. Most of all, thanks to everyone who took time out, on a rainy Sunday afternoon, to come down and support the event. Without you, the day wouldn't have been half as much of a success as it was.”
The Emmaus team included people who live, work and are supported by Emmaus Mossley and Emmaus Leeds. Emmaus communities support formerly homeless people by providing them with a home and work in a community setting. Each Emmaus runs different social enterprises, providing work and development opportunities whilst generating income to sustain the work of the charity.
Darren Bateman, companion of Emmaus Mossley and team captain of the Emmaus XI, said: “I really enjoyed the game, getting on the score sheet and playing alongside Andy Ritchie. I thought both teams did really well and I would like to congratulate the GMP Tameside team on their win.
“Massive thanks to all the people and businesses who supported the event and special thanks to the people at GMP Tameside, Mossley AFC and OACT for making it happen.”
The family-friendly event included GMP mascots Constable Cub and Wolfie, OAFC’s Chaddy The Owl and Stockport County’s Vernon Bear. An under-eight’s youth tournament took place with teams from Clarksfield and Glodwick FC, Denton Youth, Dukinfield Tigers and Springhead Reds, with Springhead running out winners after a nail biting penalty shootout.

Opened in 1960 Chadstone Shopping Centre vacuums up a fair chunk of south-eastern Melbourne's retail trade. It's been expanded several times and will retain its title as Australia's largest self contained shopping centre after the latest renovation extends its lettable floorspace to 190,000 square metres.
This picture is technically a shot that didn't work but I yanked it out of the trash bin after a closer examination. The girdered curves in opposition across the left and ride side of the frame provide an interesting balance and the way they're silhouetted against the light made me think the shot would be an appropriate addition to my Aussiemandius photoset.
Not surprisingly, the unsettling effect of seeing a normally crowded environment without people is enhanced when taken indoors off the streets.
The Chadstone Shopping Centre is outside the City of Monash, but it's just across (the numerous lanes of) Dandenong Road from Hughesdale. Built on the site of the Convent of the Good Shepherd, Oakleigh, starting with their paddocks and later the land that hosted its imposing Gothic stone buildings (demolished by Whelan The Wrecker in 1986), Chadstone was recognised from the outset as a regional shopping centre. Popularly known as Chaddy, it opened on 3 October 1960 and has grown through a series of extensions. See locale on Google Maps.

08675 departs Chadderton Goods with empty HEA wagons. This was the last known 08 working on the line and is possibly standing in for a failed mainline loco.
The line was originally built by the L&Y as a branch off the line from Middleton Junction to Oldham Werneth, better known as the Werneth incline at 1:27. The branch split at Chadderton Junction, had an occupation crossing for Fearney Field Farm, then passed under Hunt Lane.
Coal for Oldham's cotton mills was the main commodity for Chadderton Goods although for a while it had an oil terminal as well. When this photo was taken the goods yards was owned by British Fuels Ltd. who brought in coal by rail and distributed it out by road.

A view along the L&Y 1914 built 2 mile freight only branch to Chadderton which left the main line at Middleton Junction, this view is looking in the Chadderton direction from a spot near to Middleton Junction.
The last coal train along here was behind 47144 in 1988, the line is now disused and was lifted in October 1991,

A football match between a team of formerly homeless people and Greater Manchester Police (GMP) Tameside has raised £2,018 for the Greater Manchester Mayor’s Homelessness Fund.
On Sunday 21 October, more than 500 people turned out to support the Emmaus Vs GMP Tameside Charity Football Match at Seel Park in Mossley. The Emmaus team, which included former professional footballer Andy Ritchie and staff from Oldham Athletic, mostly consisted of formerly homeless people who are now supported by the charity.
The match was organised by GMPs Tameside Division with support from Emmaus Mossley, Mossley A.F.C and Oldham Athletic Community Trust (OACT). The game was played in good spirits with GMP Tameside taking the win with a score line of 8-2.
PC Steve Naylor from Greater Manchester Police, said: “What a fantastic day! Thanks to everyone who made it all possible, to all the generous businesses who donated raffle prizes, Mossley AFC for providing the venue, OACT for securing the services of Andy Ritchie, Andy himself and Chief Constable Ian Hopkins for presenting the awards.”
“I want to thank and congratulate all of the lads from each team who put on a great show. Most of all, thanks to everyone who took time out, on a rainy Sunday afternoon, to come down and support the event. Without you, the day wouldn't have been half as much of a success as it was.”
The Emmaus team included people who live, work and are supported by Emmaus Mossley and Emmaus Leeds. Emmaus communities support formerly homeless people by providing them with a home and work in a community setting. Each Emmaus runs different social enterprises, providing work and development opportunities whilst generating income to sustain the work of the charity.
Darren Bateman, companion of Emmaus Mossley and team captain of the Emmaus XI, said: “I really enjoyed the game, getting on the score sheet and playing alongside Andy Ritchie. I thought both teams did really well and I would like to congratulate the GMP Tameside team on their win.
“Massive thanks to all the people and businesses who supported the event and special thanks to the people at GMP Tameside, Mossley AFC and OACT for making it happen.”
The family-friendly event included GMP mascots Constable Cub and Wolfie, OAFC’s Chaddy The Owl and Stockport County’s Vernon Bear. An under-eight’s youth tournament took place with teams from Clarksfield and Glodwick FC, Denton Youth, Dukinfield Tigers and Springhead Reds, with Springhead running out winners after a nail biting penalty shootout.

Around 1974 my mates Walt & Chaddy ( David Atkinson & Peter Chadwick ) invested £40 into a mobile disco set up.
Using their ever growing record collections and borrowing top northern sounds from friends such as Ian Cunliffe & Kev Fox, they played the Oval Ball Club (formerly the Bomb & Dagger ) in Leigh every Friday night. It was one of the few places at the time that you could hear Northern Soul. After a while Saturday night was added. I remember the last night when the police raided the club and closed it down for licence infringements (there wasn't one).
We used start the weekend there before going to the Friday night session at Wigan Casino and then going onto Samanthas at Sheffield. Those were the days.......
The North Stand undergoes its first big test as Storm Barney hits 'Ice Station Zebra" 17.11.15. Looks like the rain has created a Chaddy the Owl image!

Popularly known as Chaddy, it opened on 3 October 1960 and has grown through a series of extensions. See locale on Google Maps.
