Title
Eastwood Station 1963 - LYR00233
Description
LYRS 6034 - General view from above station looking north east towards Hebden Bridge. The passenger station had closed 12 years earlier and goods facilities were to be shortly withdrawn when this photo was taken in August 1963.
The station half way between Hebden Bridge and Todmorden was opened by the Manchester & Leeds Railway in December 1840. The valley is so narrow that the track had to be built on a cut out shelf above the valley floor and the platforms staggered to allow room for goods facilities. It was accessed by a steep double sided track from the main road.
