Public footpath and course of old railway

Image: © Alan Walker Taken: 29 Nov 2007

This northerly facing photograph was taken from a public footpath (centre foreground, through to the stile on the left) that connects Image, Pilsley (ahead, left) with Image, Tibshelf (behind the viewpoint, right). The slight dip in the land at this point, and the hedge running diagonally across the picture, shows the course of an old railway line that once connected the Great Central Railway (to the north-east, ahead and right) with the Midland Railway (to the south-west, behind the viewpoint and left). The house standing alone, in the distance on the right, was the Image, which is on Image, Pilsley. This building is the only substantial remnant of the railway that once ran through the village. The gap between this building and the ones to its left is the position of the cutting that carried this railway.
