Station South, Levenshulme

Opened 30/3/2022 in former railway station premises. This was the brainchild of several local people assisted financially through a crowd-funding campaign. Interestingly, the stone mullioned windows at the front have been replaced (or faced) with ones fashioned from timber. Presumably because the originals had suffered too much damage over time. The station opened on 2/5/1892, originally as Levenshulme, it closed to passenger traffic on 7/7/1958, and to freight traffic in 1987. Planning Application 125563/FO/2019 | Proposed conversion and use of former station building and external areas as mixed use development comprising: assembly, leisure and retail space, restaurant / cafe bar, offices, and basement storage and ancillary facilities with external seating and recreational areas, community garden, ancillary outbuildings and structures , cycle storage, car parking, play and events space,boundary fencing, gates and a new cycle path linking the site to the Fallowfield Cycle Loop. Approved 4/9/2020.
