The Station Agent's House
Revolutionary then and nowMake a donation to support this appeal
Help restore this extraordinary survival of the industrial age.
During a time of industrial revolution, this handsome property in the heart of Manchester became home to the first Station Agent of one of the first purpose built, passenger railways. With your support, the Landmark Trust will complete our careful restoration of The Station Agent’s House and open a forward-looking Landmark, meeting high standards of environmental sustainability and physical accessibility, in 2024.
