Image: © Dave Dunford Taken: 9 Sep 2005
The branch line to Hayfield closed in 1970 and is now maintained as a cycling and horse-riding route, the Sett Valley Trail (seen here passing through the gate in front of the house). Two of the former level crossing houses along the line survive, including this one at Wildes Crossing down a cobbled lane (see foreground) between Birch Vale and Thornsett. Viewpoint approx. SK014867, looking north.
