Congratulations to our good friends at Hindley who have won second prize in this year’s hotly contested “Best UK Station Garden or Floral Display” competition. The gardens at Hindley are absolutely magnificent and the award is thoroughly well deserved – well done to all at Hindley !

On Tuesday 25th September, Northern Rail are holding a “meet the directors” event at Manchester Victoria station from 3pm until 7pm.

FOWS volunteers have been busy at the station today weeding and dead-heading the summer growth that has gone over.
A special thank you to Tracy Jacobs of Salford’s Neighbourhood Team who donated some hollies and pyrocanthus from her own garden – many thanks Tracy 🙂
Northern Rail have recently re-painted the station too, so it’s far to say the place is looking better than ever in modern times.
The hostas have done particularly well with this summer’s damp weather.
Weeded and boasting hollies and pyrocanthus donated by Tracy.
