Historic Halifax - 16 July 2015

This photograph is more symbolic than informative without the explanation which follows. To walk around near the present day Halifax station is to walk in a wonderland of railway history. A look at a satellite image centred on the station will give you some idea why. An area extending between two car parks and containing the Eureka! (sic) museum and the bridge approach to the station forecourt was obviously once heavily laid with track. Central to the area is the former station building also belonging to Eureka! The Victorian brickwork under the bridge is just superb. For the 'lost railway' enthusiast this is worth 15-30 mins of wandering to take in the atmosphere.
