Huddersfield Railway Bridge is Missing

Previous, Next

These photos (taken on the 5th of September) show John William Street with the old railway bridge removed, prior to the installation of the new one.

In the photo below you can just about make out the Sportsman pub (one of my favourites, see this post), it’s behind the traffic light in the centre of the photo. The bridge replacement is taking six weeks, which gives the landlord lower business and sleepless nights. When they removed the old sections of the bridge, they passed within meters of the pub.

The photo below shows the view from the pub.

Unfortunately, I don’t have any photos of the original bridge, because I didn’t know they were going to replace it. I also have none of the station as it was before the upgrade. I’ve done this before, not taking photos of something before a major change, this must change!

All journal posts about the station upgrade are tagged with Huddersfield-Station-Upgrade; the next one is here.
