 Thorner
lane bridge (23-05-10) : Phill Davison
This LNER telegraph pole railway relic can be dated back to at least 1948.
The LNER was one of the relatively short lived 'Big four' railway
companies to exist between 1923 and 1948. I'm not sure if this would have
been a standard GPO telegraph pole, or did the LNER markings mean this was
an internal railway form of communication/signals? |
 Footbridge

A footbridge looking down the old track bed near the A64 Leeds |
 Leeds/Barwick
road bridge (20-09-06) : Phill Davison
The old rail bridge across the Leeds/Barwick road. The bridge is actually a
split personality. It was built as a single span & then doubled later. You
can see the two different types of stone. Also the road is Leeds road on one
side & Barwick on the other. |

Wetherby station
Note : Mike Bale
The
Church Fenton to Harrogate line also had a station at Wetherby which
opened in August 1847 together with those from Church Fenton to Spofforth.
The Wetherby station shown on the above map is the passenger station
opened in 1902 at which time the original station became Wetherby Goods
station. You’ll know that the lines around Wetherby were the first to
close after the Beeching Report. Apart from 3 overbridges the Goods
Transfer Shed at the original station is the only item of railway
architecture remaining in the town. |
