Bollington railway station
Postcard postmarked 1950! Must have been re-issued many times. View along northbound platform looking south across Grimshaw Lane bridge and the goods yard where Clough Bank is today. Bridge in far distance is that over the Middlewood Way today by the ramps. Notice corner of Adelphi mill in top left corner. Notice advertisement board for Pear’s soap on southbound platform building. The sign board facing the camera says ‘Tr to Stockport’.
Railway closed 3rd January 1971. In 1985 converted to Middlewood Way recreational area.

Cartoon railway postcard
This comic card was prepared with the names of many places where it might sell and Bollington was just one of those. The dialect at the top says (in plain English!) “All you with clogs on get in the guard’s van.” The cartoon was a reflection of the overcrowded nature of the railways in those days.
