Swinton Town 2nd railway station (site), Yorkshire
Image: © Nigel Thompson Taken: 25 Feb 2014
Opened in 1899 by the Midland Railway on its line from Rotherham to Leeds, this station replaced the first Swinton station (which coincidentally is also the site of the 3rd and current "Swinton South Yorkshire" station). The second station closed in 1968. View north from the current station. The station entrance was on Station Street and was still extant when this image was taken (see Image]) - the roof can be seen far left. The two island platforms started where the red structure on the left can be seen, and were accessed by subway.
