Werneth Low - Izeria

Werneth Low (; WUR-nəth) is a hill in Greater Manchester, England, and a part of the Pennines. It is located on the border of Stockport and Tameside, rising to a height of 279 metres (915 ft). The villages of Woodley, Greave, Gee Cross, Mottram and Romiley lie on the sides of the low. The term "low" does not refer to any lack of altitude, it being a northern English word for hill. Werneth Low offers panoramic views over the Greater Manchester Urban Area and, in clear weather, the Winter Hill transmitting station can be seen from here. To the south, Stockport town centre, part of Wythenshawe in south Manchester and the Welsh mountains can be viewed in clear weather. The majority of Werneth Low is administered jointly by Hyde War Memorial Trust and Tameside Council. The trust organises the Remembrance and Peace day services. It was established to be the guardian of Werneth Low, to keep it "For the people of Hyde" and provide a lasting monument to the 710 men of Hyde who perished in World War I. Various landmarks can be seen from the top of Werneth Low, including: Manchester's Deansgate Square, Beetham Tower, the Oldham Civic Centre and Jodrell Bank Observatory's radio telescope (visible from the south-western end of the hilltop).

Hattersley railway station

Hattersley railway station serves the Hattersley area of Tameside, Greater Manchester, England. The station is 9 miles (14 km) east of Manchester Piccadilly on the Manchester-Glossop Line. The station was opened by British Rail in 1978 as an island platform with a covered footbridge leading to the station's exit. It used to contain a glass waiting room/area, but this was later subjected to an arson attack. Hattersley has been served by 3-car trains throughout its life, but has an extended platform that can comfortably accommodate 6-car trains. It has car parking spaces and formerly incorporated a bus interchange which was served by the number 216 bus before continuing through Hattersley to the terminus or going to Hyde and Manchester. The station and the line around 1km to the east of it is currently within a substantial cutting, a new Hattersley Viaduct replacing two tunnels some 400m in length which were likely required to be removed as part of the post-war electrification works.
