It was established in 1878 under the name "Newton Heath LYR (Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway)" by some railway workers.
This involved a train emerging from a tunnel (the model, for those interested, was an LYR Barton Wright 0-4-4T) with, on an enclosing arch, a bust of Swinburn flanked, incongruously, by ones of Milton and Shakespeare.
It was initially run by the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway (who called it Exchange station) and the East Lancashire Railway (who referred to it as Tithebarn Street) - the two companies amalgamated, as the LYR, in 1859.
