Thongs Bridge

View north east at the bricked up south portal of the very high Heys Road over-bridge at Thongsbridge near Holmfirth, beyond which new housing is being built in the deep cutting running to the nearby Springwood Road over-bridge, in which Thongsbridge Station was sited. The roofs of those new houses built alongside the bridge can just be seen rising above the parapet. Other than the A616 rail overbridge near Brockholes, these two bridges are the only other structures extant on the former Holmfirth branch in March 2016. See Image 53296.
