Turntable pit at the former Barnsley Junction Sidings
Nature is steadily reclaiming this blue brick turntable pit. the turntable was in use at what used to be Barnsley Junction Sidings which served the adjacent Penistone Steelworks. Very little evidence remains of these extensive sidings, now, which ran on to the Sheffield to Manchester Woodhead railway, although a little poking around in the shrubbery does turn up a few gems like this one.

Up empties passing Penistone Station on the electrified Manchester - Sheffield/Wath main line
View NW, towards Woodhead Tunnel and Manchester, just five days before the New Tunnel was formally opened and full electric operation began. However, electrically hauled freight trains had been running Wath Yard - Dunford Bridge since February 1952 with handover to steam at Dunford Bridge; this train was probably one of those, headed by Bo-Bo EM1 Nos. 26043 + 26042.

I thought the building looked like a former pub. and sure enough it is named on old maps.

Huddersfield Junction, Penistone
Taken from the official farewell tour train, run just prior to closure of the Woodhead route in 1981. The Health & Safety crowd were not a factor in 1981, even on electrified railway lines. Almost all the infrastructure in the photograph is now just a memory.
