This photo shows the filled in cutting of the old railway line between Bradford and Wakefield via Drighlington and Morley Top. Through trains to London Kings Cross on this line opened on the 1st December 1857, but closed on the 3rd July 1966 and subsequently lifted. However, the section of this line from Laisterdyke to Dudley Hill continued until 1981, after which it was dismantled and then built on.
