View SW on Broad Street, Parkgate, where it crossed on the level the branch off the ex-Midland main line near Parkgate & Rawmarsh Station. On the left is the water-cooling tower of the Park Gate Iron & Steel Works and ahead in the distance is the South Yorkshire Chemical Works. All is utterly different now (2011).
