The Friends of Handforth Station were saddened to hear the news of the death of member Mike Cooke on the 8th of December.
Mike was a dedicated supporter of Handforth Station, attending Work Parties regularly before his cancer diagnosis in 2024. He always brought his own loppers, and nothing seemed to make him happier than pruning the vegetation behind the southbound platform.
RIP, Mike. You are sorely missed.
