Taken with my telephoto lens and enlarged from the centre of the original Crigglestone Junction signal box is seen standing on Bretton Lane bridge. The junction can be seen with the lines to the left going west towards Horbury Station Junction and just beyond that Healey Mills. This line was already a freight-only chord when this photograph was taken and is now lifted but, interestingly, it is still shown on the latest edition of the Ordnance Survey 1:50000 map. The line to the right is the L & Y route linking Sheffield to Wakefield via Barnsley. In the background is the large Crigglestone viaduct that still dominates the valley that carried the Midland route that terminated at Dewsbury. Crigglestone signal box was a Lancashire and Yorkshire box that survived until January 1997 with control moving to Horbury Junction, see..... https://www.ontheupfast.com/p/21936chg/28462368004/horbury-junction-signal-box-lnwr
