Another small piece of railway history currently vanishing into the dust. Although now long closed the former wagon works buildings alongside Reddish South Station have be used for other purposes since the last wagons departed around the late 1980s, however it appears time is finally up with demolition well underway these last few weeks. Apologies for the poor quality shots but the weather was rather dismal this morning, the first picture taken from the station platform in 1975 shows the newer of the two main sheds, in the second shot taken from a similar position this morning it is now already reduced to approximately a third of its former length, the third picture shows the now demolished original building behind it revealing the previously hidden but still extant trackwork contained within and between the two buildings, although rather difficult to make out on the shot due to the rather grainy image. One other building survives in use for now, although its difficult to say for its long term future.
