Manchester Mayfield railway station

Manchester, Italy

Manchester Mayfield is a former railway station in Manchester, England, on the south side of Fairfield Street next to Manchester Piccadilly station. Opened in 1910, Mayfield was constructed as a four-platform relief station adjacent to Piccadilly to alleviate overcrowding. In 1960, the station was c

losed to passengers and, in 1986, it was permanently closed to all services having seen further use as a parcels depot. After years of abandonment and many proposed development schemes, the station roof was dismantled in February 2013. The site was used for Manchester International Festival in July 2013. Manchester Mayfield station and the surrounding 6.2-acre (25,000 m2) site is the property of London and Continental Railways, the residual government-owned corporation and former partner in Eurostar International. In 2019, some of the site was converted into Depot Mayfield, a cultural venue. In September 2022, Mayfield Park was opened on the southern part of the site.
