Railway Revolution: The Station Agent's House

48 Liverpool Road, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M3 4EQ

  • Multiple dates available
  • In person
  • Pre-booking preferred

Join us to visit the recent restoration of this handsome early 19th century building and learn more about the Landmark Trust's project.

Join us to explore The Station Agent’s House Saturday 13 - Sunday 14 September 2025 as part of Heritage Open Days.

In 1828, the building and the surrounding site was identified by the Liverpool & Manchester Railway (under the initial supervision of Engineer George Stephenson) as being well placed for what would be Liverpool Road Station. The house became the dwelling of the first Station Agent, Joseph Green and his family. The Station Agent’s House was the hub around which Liverpool Road Station was developed. Here, so much that would characterise train travel was first seen: waiting rooms, signals, tickets, ticket offices, and the station agent’s (later master's) house.

Come and explore this grand historic home, now wonderfully restored for future generations and families to enjoy as a hub for exploration of Manchester and the surrounding area.

We will be sharing information about the history of the building, and a Children’s Explorer activity booklet will be available. All are welcome.

Whilst booking is not essential we would ask that you register for the event via Eventbrite so that we can provide you with updates regarding the event and manage capacities. Priority will be given to those who have pre-registered.
