View northward, towards Normanton and Leeds: ex-Midland Sheffield etc. - Leeds etc. main line. Over on the right is the ex-Hull & Barnsley line towards Wranbrook Junction and eventually Hull - which reached Barnsley over the Midland line branching off at the other end of Cudworth station behind the camera. (See also Image]). Owing to mining subsidence, even the main line closed in 1968, Cudworth having lost its last remnant of H&B freight traffic in 1967 but passenger trains ceased long before. The 16.10 Leeds (City) to Sheffield is headed by LMS Compound 4P 4-4-0 No. 41154.
