Swinton Town 2nd railway station (site), Yorkshire
Image: © Nigel Thompson Taken: 31 Oct 2016
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 at the 1899 roadside building, which is the only surviving part of the station. The railway is on the embankment to the right of the building.
