Location

Didsbury railway station served the suburb of Didsbury, in south Manchester, England. It was located on Wilmslow Road, just north of the junction with Barlow Moor Road and opposite Didsbury Library. Nothing now remains of the old station buildings, which have been demolished, but the surviving white Portland stone clock tower is a local landmark. The suburb is now served by Didsbury Village tram stop, which is close to the site of the former station.
