Hi! I just found this thread by googling pendlebury train station. I won't elaborate on Pendlebury station as you've all covered brilliantly. I'm interested in all aspects of local history for swinton and pendlebury (I attended St Augustines) and particularly clifton green/junction area as I grew up on Clively estate. I know I'm going off topic - apologies. Does anyone know if there used to be a hall in the Clively area? Not Clifton Hall - too far away. There was a wall that formed part of our garden boundary on the field side of Copeland Avenue. The general belief was that it was the remaining part of an old boundary and I know there were lots of rights of way in the vicinity, these are now pretty much inaccessible now due to lack of use, but there were even steps formed into the hillside that led down into the valley toward Clifton Junction. I can't find any other evidence to back this up but wondered if anyone else knows more. I live in Norfolk now so can't get to local history library

Lizzie,
Very interesting...and I thought it was only the old London Bridge that was taken down and piece by piece shipped off across the Atlantic,

I can't see it being part of the boundary wall of Agecroft Hall - seems too far away and the rights of way are on the wrong side of the wall. Wasn't Agecroft Hall situated in the area where Thermalite used to be? There is a new housing estate there now named after it and the place it was shipped to - Windsor Farms in Richmond VA

That is absolutely fantastic! Thanks. It's the nearest I've got to finding anything definite out. Living 300 miles away makes investigation a bit difficult. Who was your friend that lived on Copeland? I lived there from 1972 until 1996. My parents only sold up a year ago.

This maybe of interest
"The Swinton and Pendlebury Journal of 7 October 1960 reported that the last train to call at Pendlebury station was the 23:21 from Manchester Victoria to Wigan on the previous Saturday (1 October 1960) - there were 6 people aboard one of whom was a 37-years-old shopkeeper Mr Jackson, proprietor of 419 Chorley Road, Swinton. Mr Jackson reportedly bought the last ticket ever issued at Pendlebury station from the porter Mr D. White - a single to Swinton. Mr Jackson also reportedly travelled to Irlams o' th' Height on March 3, 1956 to purchase the last ever ticket issued there."

Hi all,
I lived in copeland up until 1989/90. The wall on to the back fields was the garden wall of the phillip's house which ran round the back of the houses half way down the avenue. I didnt know about any big house being on the site, any info would be appreciated.
Thanks

@treblewinner. I lived on Copeland from 1972 to 1996. No 6. Our back wall was part of the boundary wall. If you look through earlier on this thread there is an old map which clearly shows the boundary wall of the old house. You can see that the boundary is almost exact shape of Copeland.
