It was replaced in 1939 with the metal trough bridge we see today. To the left Canalside Mill built before the railway by John Whiteley after whom the viaduct is locally named, originally it was Charlestown Viaduct.

The steel bow string bridge was designed by George Stephenson and was one of the earliest of its type. He was employed by Manchester & Leeds Railway when the line was built in the late 1830's. The line was opened in October 1840 except for the section through Summit Tunnel which opened in March 1841.
Strengthening work on the bridge was carried out in 1890 for widening the line between Mytholmroyd and Hebden.
The road beyond the bridge is King Street.
St James and Heptonstall New Church can also be seen on the right.
One of the two Eaves Mills, top centre right, still standing prior to demolition at the end of the First World War; below it Mytholm Mill and St James Church. Bottom left Canalside Mill next to Whiteley Arches.
Information from David Cant
The tall chimney, built in 1842, at 300 feet was said to be the tallest chimney in the district. The terraces just right of centre are on Savile Road.

The first station here opened at the same time as the line and was re-built in 1884/5 as seen here in L&YR days looking towards Low Moor. The station and line closed in 1965 and the track bed now forms the Spen Valley Greenway.

A third island platform station was built in 1894. The station and goods yard closed in 1962 but there remains hope that it could re-open.
The bridge across the line is called Billy Mellor Bridge and appears to link Elland Hall with Plains Lane.

LYRS 4508 - The magnificent station building, now Grade I Listed. John Betjeman described the imposing frontage as 'the most splendid in England' and Nikolaus Pevsner considered it to be one of the best stations in the country. Its grandeur owes much to the influence of the Ramsden family who owned most of Huddersfield at the time it was built in 1846/50. It was operated jointly by the London & North Western Railway and the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway and they each had their own Booking Offices in the pavilions at the end of the colonnades which extended from the central block with its giant portico. However by the time this photo was taken the centre had become the Booking Hall. Above each pavilion is the crest of the respective company but in place of the LNWR's it is that of the Huddersfield & Manchester Railway who had promoted the line prior to becoming part of the LNWR.
