This shelter seems to have been commandeered by local youths as their evening meeting place. Today most of the litter usually strewn around the shelter has been cleaned up.

Brackenhill Light Railway
Brackenhill Light Railway ran from Brackenhill Jn on the Sheffield to York line to Hemsworth Colliery (with a short spur to Ackworth Moor Top). It never carried a passenger service although it saw occasional holiday excursions. The NER worked the line but to avoid requiring the sanction of the Board of Trade this was never formalised. It was absorbed by the LNER at the grouping and survived into BR days, closing at the end of 1961.
This was taken from the bridge on Barnsley Road.
By 1963 the track had been lifted Image
By 1966 part of the embankment was filled in Image
