The Huddersfield to Sheffield Railway
Looking southwards from the footbridge off the top of Burbeary Road. The retaining wall has puzzling arched recesses that I have also seen elsewhere. I have been informed that they are "refuges for people at work on the railway in areas of limited clearance. When a train approaches you duck in there until it passes." A track is shown close to the wall on the 1906 1:2500 map. This was the approach to the junction with the Meltham branch line and the normal two tracks were supplemented by slanting 'slip' tracks.

The northern end of the railway path, Beaumont Park, Huddersfield
This is the site of the railway junction where the Meltham branch line left the Penistone line, which is still in use for trains to Sheffield. Presumably the gate is locked, but that does not stop the graffiti artists. The sign on the gate gives the telephone number for the Samaritans.

Railway boundary stone off Burbeary Road
LYR stands for Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway. This line from Huddersfield to Sheffield was evidently a branch off the main trans-Pennine route from Manchester to Normanton.

Public footpath from Hanson Lane to Burbeary Road and Thornfield Road
This path runs along the eastern side of the railway, with a drop on both sides. There are steps leading down to Burbeary Road, and a footbridge over the railway, leading to Thornfield Road.
