Title
Halifax. Original Pedestrian Gateway to the Station - DNT00241
Description
When the station was built in 1855 the main access was by a sweeping carriage drive from opposite the bottom of Horton Street but there was also this pedestrian access which was blocked up when lines and platforms to the front of the station were built in the mid-1880s. Originally there was an arch across inscribed ‘Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway’ but this was mysteriously dismantled early 2000s without the knowledge of either Eureka or Calderdale MBC.
To the left of the gateway the handsome Italian style station building erected in 1855 now used in connection with Eureka Children’s Museum.
