Addingford Lane bridge
Addingford Tunnel was uncovered in 1927, leaving a very deep cutting with four tracks (later reduced to two as it now carries much less freight, and probably also fewer passenger trains than it used to). The section of Addingford Lane that had crossed over the tunnel was replaced with this bridge to provide access to Addingford Mill.

Addingford steps footpath
This is a steep footpath to a bridge over the railway in the cutting. Part of the path is stepped and some is cobbled. The iron railings are a necessity.

Footpath under a disused railway line
The line was the Horbury West Curve (known locally as the Crigglestone Curve) which provided a connection between the Lancashire & Yorkshire's main line and its branch to Barnsley. It opened in 1902, passenger services ceased in September 1961 and freight in 1991. The track remained in situ until 2013 and much of the route (though not at this end) has since been opened to walkers.
