Thanks for posting a super nostalgic trip back in time, Thats the first time that I have seen Clifton Junction as it was. P.S. the Saint Helens Canal enters the River Mersey at Spike Island -not the Ship Canal,
So clean the stations were in those days the staff kept on top of things,even track side looks clean ,loverly video .
