The Footbridge and Railway Viaduct at Mytholmroyd – KEC00105

1960. Rear of the ‘up’ Manchester Platform across the viaduct. The pltforms not only extended across the viaduct but overhung it supported by massive brackets as seen here. This was not without incident and on more than one occassion flags and and stone crashed down to the road below. The wooden building was originally a cafe run by Ernest Watson. It was then an artist’s studio run by Edmund Riley and Lewis Feather. Sometime later the building became a cafe again. Part of the Hebden Bridge Local History Society Archive
