Path from Dick Lane to New Lane
The area to the right was railway land near the former Laisterdyke station and the path dates from the railway era although there is now modern housing on both sides.

Spindle Close, Laisterdyke
The name might suggest that a textile mill occupied the site but in fact it was railway land east of Laisterdyke station (sidings, a shed and signal box).

Bridge over disused railway on Dick Lane
Laisterdyke once boasted the Great Northern's railway station with four platforms and a complicated double-triangular junction with lines radiating to Bradford, Shipley, Leeds (by two routes), Wakefield, Dewsbury and Halifax. The station closed in 1966, most of the lines around the same time, and only the through route from Bradford to Leeds now remains, with no station at Laisterdyke. This bridge once crossed one of the curves of the northern triangle, just east of the station.

Remains of old railway line at Dick Lane
This photo shows the filled in cutting of the old railway line between Bradford and Wakefield via Drighlington and Morley Top. Through trains to London Kings Cross on this line opened on the 1st December 1857, but closed on the 3rd July 1966 and subsequently lifted. However, the section of this line from Laisterdyke to Dudley Hill continued until 1981, after which it was dismantled and then built on.

Quarry Gap - Dick Lane
On a sports ground attached to this Hotel in 1864 Mrs Emma Sharp, a miners wife, undertook a pedestrian feat of walking 1,000 miles in 1,000 consecutive half hours. Walking backwards and forwards on a 120 yard stretch. The walk was completed on 29th October before a crowd of 25,000, there was much betting on the outcome.
