algy Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 Here is a photo of Latchford Station from 1957 when it was fully operational with both platforms working. Does anybody remember what the access was to the North platform, perhaps it would have been by crossing the lines?. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazj Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Is that Boteler Grammar on the far right of your picture Algy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No baz, if you went down the banking behind the left of the station building you would come to Boteler Grammar school playing field, you can just make out the terraced houses in Grammar School Road (Ex Grappenhall Road before the canal was built).

algy Posted March 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 To the right of the station down the embankment until the ship canal was Warrington Timber Ltd. Which was the site of the original Latchford station. (I know we have covered this previously, but some may not know!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latchford Locks Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 Which was the site of the original Latchford station. (I know we have covered this previously, but some may not know!) It was halfway between the cantilever and the swing bridge on the canal bank. I was born and brought up in it . As you will see by comparing the photos the old station was much grander than the wooden hut that replaced it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
