Railway bridge over Pontefract Road, Ferrybridge
This looks to be a modern rebuild, concrete with brick facing, but retaining the arched form, and 12ft 8in height limit, of the original. Image shows the other side. Ferrybridge station was to the right of the bridge but closed in 1965.

Ferrybridge: bridge on Pontefract Road under main lines at site of former station, 1995
View westward, under the main Swinton & Knottingley (ex-Midland & NE Joint) line from York via Church Fenton (to the right) to Pontefract and Sheffield (to the left). The station, which was up to the left, was purely for local purposes, being close to Pontefract and Knottingley, was closed 13/9/65, but the lines remain on busy routes. (Cf. Image], which shows interesting changes since 1995.)

St Andrews Church Ferrybridge
The church was moved (dismantled and rebuilt) in the 1950's. It used to stand in marshy land at the side of the power station cooling towers. The graveyard still remains in situ. See supplementary photo http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2128236. Not sure if the bodies have been removed or still there?
