Mayfield station lies opposite Piccadilly (London road) station
and opened on, 8th August 1910.
This was a terminating station with a concourse, 5 platforms
and a goods warehouse beneath.
The station closed on, 28th August 1960.

Even though the station is next to Piccadilly station and a busy road,
theres an eerie silence to it.
The floor of the room beneath the station is in a poor way,
( I went through it twice).

Did you happen to see what the date was on that newspaper(last but one pic)?
 
can remember this place when it was still in use for parcels trains

think this ceased in 1984 when the track layout was altered and the new signalbox opend

mail & parcels would arrive here and be sent accross to the royal mail sorting depot over the conveyor to where the network rail headquaters are now situated

was very very busy at one point all goes by road now :( very green and eco ?

brilliant! i've not been under it yet, just on the platform. i didn't dare venture across what is pretty much a soggy cardboard floor at the bottom of the stairs.

Great place considering how busy that part of Manchester is. Does anyone know much about (what looks like) the old fire station that sits on the corner of Fairfield Street and London Road. I'd always admired it on the odd trip to Manchester, passing it on walk from office to train station. It can't be far from Mayfield Station? Is this building a closed down fire station, something to with tram network - it looks pretty derelict.
 
Great pics, that office does not look as if it has been abandoned 28 years.
 
When I did Mayfield, the lower floor was still in use!! there were fork lift trucks running around all over.

According to Havoc who showed us around some places in and around Manchester, the fire station used to be wide open, just walk through the door business but has since been locked up tight due to people living in there.
 
According to the internet, the paper is from the 12th of Jan?
 
*13th but in strantons picture it looked folded, as if he'd put it there. but it was probably someone else who was there on the 13th of jan.
