 Looking east on 9 March 2008 along the approach road that connected Knowsley Street to the Bury Knowsley Street station. From the 1880s passengers had direct access to the station via stairways to a street-level building. This road, however, continued to be used by road vehicles and in particular those serving the station’s extensive goods facilities.

The different elevation of the reopened line to Heywood is clearly illustrated by this view.Photo by Paul Wright  The impressive Knowsley Street bridge looking east on 28 August 2010. Bury Knowsley Street station was located on the far side of the bridge. The East Lancashire Railway's Heywood line opened for passengers on 25 July 2003 bringing regular trains to the station site once again. The new line is at a different elevation from the original as it has to pass over the Metrolink tramway which cuts through the station site at its midpoint.t.Photo by Paul Wright  Looking east at the site of Bury Knowsley Street station from a point that would lie a few metres above the location of the up platform. The view was taken on 28 August 2010 by which time a multi-storey car park had opened on the site of the up platform and its associated buildings.Photo by Paul Wright  Looking south along Knowsley Street on 28 August 2010.
