View NW, towards Barnsley: ex-GC Sheffield Victoria - Barnsley line. The station (named 'Central' from 18/6/51) was closed when the passenger service ceased on 7/12/53, but was open for goods until 1/4/55 and the line remained until 3/66. Clearly, by 1998 it was a flourishing private house. The whole area of South Yorkshire was honeycombed with railways as long as the coal mines flourished.
