Macclesfield’s Railway Stations

Tim Harvey’s slideshow of old photos of Macclesfield’s railway stations includes the former Hibel Road Station, the old goods yard, the old line to Bollington and Marple, Old Central Station and the New Central Station. 

Some of the town’s buildings can also be seen in the background of some of the photos.
