New artwork featured at a railway station on the outskirts of Wigan lets visitors see what it would have looked like in the 1950s.

A collection of photographs at Parbold station show the venue as it is now and 70 years ago, merging a scene of past and present as part of a project funded by Northern.

The Friends of Parbold Station has brightened up the fencing on parts of the platform with the display, which also shows other photographic scenes from around the village, including the Leeds and Liverpool canal and landmarks such as the Parbold windmill.

“The photographs can now be enjoyed by everyone in the community when they visit the station and is something for everyone to embrace, enjoy and be proud of.”
