Description

LYRS 2777n -1937. Sowerby Bridge - general view of track formation, loco depot, Goods Yard and West Signal Box taken from the top of Sowerby Tunnel.

Sowerby Bridge was the main operating centre for the Upper Calder Valley with a large engine and rolling stock depot where several locomotives were based. The area is now an industrial estate although the base of the coaling stage has been built into one industrial unit and Tesco now stands on the site of the Goods Depot. The engine shed and the yards were dismantled following closure in 1964.
