Summary edit

Description
English: Dunford Bridge railway station (site), Yorkshire, 1981
The first Dunford Bridge station (1845-1953) was at the exit from the original Woodhead tunnel, located just below and left of the camera position. Far left, still visible, was the Sheffield-bound platform. The Manchester-bound platform was directly underneath the camera position, where the grass is.

When the new Woodhead tunnel opened, the line was shifted over to the right. The two short platforms of the replacement station (1953-1970) were still extant when this image was taken, 11 years after the last regular passengers had used them.

One bore of the original tunnel carried National Grid high tension power lines at the time of this image. A 2' gauge railway (left) was used to take workers and materials into the tunnel. Compare with SE1502 : Dunford Bridge railway station (site), Yorkshire, 2011 taken 30 years later - the only clear reference point is the narrow gauge railway!
