Ryhill Halt railway station (site), Yorkshire

Opened in 1912 by the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway on their Dearne Valley Railway from Wakefield Kirkgate to Edlington (south west of Doncaster), this station closed in 1951. The halts on this line were apparently made of old sleepers with an old railway carriage for shelter, so not surprisingly nothing remains. In addition, the cutting here appears to have been filled in and landscaped, so the photographer is probably standing many feet above the site of the station. View north west towards Wakefield.
