A 'Derby' 'BRCW' hybrid two car train arrives at Hollinwood. This was my local station, I was born about half a mile from here and my parents lived near here until their deaths in 2000. Hollinwood at one time had a quite extensive goods yard no doubt to serve the many local industries All that remained at this time was a loop line used at times by trains to/from Oldham Clegg Street Parcels depot.. The Asia cotton mill in the background was one of the newer mills built in 1905 and was one of the last in operation for its original purpose. It is now closed and demolished. |

A view of Hollinwood Station. Most of the original L&Y buildings were below platform level to the left. At platform level were quite extensive wooden buildings mainly on this platform beyond the signal box. At the time of this phot the box was usually switched out. |
