The LNER Encyclopedia

Hello Everyone.
Doe's anyone have or know where I could get a track plan & photographs for this station.
Forgive me if this location was part of the LMS & not the LNER. I am unsure about this.
Thank you.

Tony,

Tiviot Dale was a Cheshire Lines Committee (CLC) station and as such was 2/3 LNER and 1/3 LMS.

My brother and I made an abortive attempt to model this station in N gauge a few years ago.

The best place to start for pictures is getting hold of a copy of Scenes from the Past: 13 Stockport Tiviot Dale by Gregory K. Fox (Foxline publishing 1991). It's long out of print, but you ought to be able to get a copy secondhand. This has a good few photos of the station (as you might expect) and includes a couple of plans (one 1882 and one one at some point later), which unfortunately are without scales.

Another book with a few views of Tiviot Dale is Scenes from the Past:16 (part 1) The Midland Route from Manchester Part One by E.M. Johnson (again Foxline Publishing). This covers the line from Manchester Central to New Mills via Didsbury, Stockport and Marple.



I found large scale OS maps for the relevant area to be very useful.

The following website has a few views of what remains/was at the station site a few years ago:

Hope the above are of some use to you. What are you planning?

Hi There.
Thank you for that. I found out about the Johnson book but I didn't know about Scenes fron the past. I will check it out.
Thanks.

Hello.
To answer you fully. I have just bought a OO gauge model of the station made professionally & I wanted to put a track plan to it. Generally I just wanted to know more about the station,what ran through it etc.

Hi.
tonysteel on the LMS forum sent me some photos & a track plan.Seem like a nice station. He also put me on the track of a book "An Illustrated History of the Cheshire Lines Committe" ISBN 0947562001 by Paul Bolger, Heyday Publishing 1984.
I managed to find a copy on line & am looking forward to it.

Hello Everyone.
I got a copy of this book today.
Stockport Tiviot Dale by Gregory K. Fox (Foxline publishing 1991.
Very good with lots of photos which are a bit dark but then they are very old.
It would have been nice to see good photos of the platform side of the buildings,there are a few but its hard to make out details. Of course station building plans would have been great but no such luck.
Regards.
Tony Daly.

Hi Tony,

I have a few negatives of Tiviot Dale including some on the platform side during the period of demolition.

Unfortuntaltey all my negatives are in store until my new pc and scanner are set up.

Kind regards
