Cheadle Hulme Railway Garden

[Gizmogle]

Somewhere on the WCML very close to Cheadle Hulme station there is a garden with loads of railway memorabilia.
I'm always going past too fast to really appreciate it, and was wondering if anyone else has seen it?
Is there any info about it on the internet?
Anyone have any pictures?

Thanks

There was a bit about it in the Great Railway Journey TV program that Victoria Wood did a few years ago. There doesn't seem to be much online about it, but I think I still have it on video somewhere at home. I'll see if I can find it.

I think the place you are referring to is "Crossbridges" owned by Mel Thorley. I see to remember thsat years ago, he had complaints off his neigbours when he had a couple of cabs craned into the back garden.

I see it all the time.

Quite interesting to see.

I've found the video I was talking about and uploaded the bit about Crossbridges - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYs83o5TFlQ

Awesome, cheers Craig

 

[The 158 Man]

I remember when that was on TV. Pretty interesting.

Is that a 158 she's riding on? I think it is, except the horn you can hear isn't from a 158. Unless of course it's just a sound effect or from one of the trains passing the house? :razz:
