Friend Peter Rose recently returned from holiday based in Hebden Bridge.
An attractive market town set in the valley of the river Calder which shares the steeply sided narrow valley with the Rochdale Canal, the A646 road and the railway line linking Manchester with Bradford and other parts of West Yorkshire.
Because of its location the town does have flooding problems that with the effects of global warming will probably get worse.
These images are reproduced here with his permission and my thanks.
Hebden Bridge railway station was originally opened in October 1840 by the Manchester and Leeds Railway Company.
The current buildings dating from 1893 and were refurbished in 1997.
The signage that was used by the ‘Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway’ at that time was adopted.
