Creating a garden at Mytholmroyd

c1966, this was one of Calder Civic Trust’s first projects – creating a small garden on a piece of long derelict land in the ownership of British Rail. The relic of this garden remains (2014) in front of the Catholic Church, which has replaced the derelict cottage seen here on the right. Hard at work here are Philip Longbottom, propping up the lamp post, Harry Lunn and David Fletcher are in the distance, with Robert Helliwell and Pippa (?) in the foreground. The station platforms extended along the viaduct but also over its edge supported by the massive brackets seen here.
