This took bricks from Allen's Brickwarks to Hipperholme Station. It had a relatively short life in the early 20C. It passed under Badger Hill and then climbed steeply to the station. This section seems to be the only surviving part. It has proved difficult to photograph; I would like to clear the overhanging vegetation but would probably end up falling in and be scratched by brambles. No rails are visible, they were probably taken up for scrap.
