Former Chapeltown & Thorncliffe (later Central) station
View NW, towards Barnsley: ex-GC Sheffield Victoria - Barnsley line. The station (named 'Central' from 18/6/51) was closed when the passenger service ceased on 7/12/53, but was open for goods until 1/4/55 and the line remained until 3/66. Clearly, by 1998 it was a flourishing private house. The whole area of South Yorkshire was honeycombed with railways as long as the coal mines flourished.

Railway Bridge, Thorncliffe Road, Chapeltown, near Sheffield - 1
This view is looking North North West and shows the bridge carrying the Sheffield to Barnsley railway over Thorncliffe Road. A few metres to the right the rail line enters the Tankersley Tunnel. Originally this road was just an access road to Thorncliffe Colliery but due to lots of development in the area it now carries much more traffic than it was designed for ... hence the need to build a separate tunnel for the public to use.
