Greenmount

A view towards Bury from the filled in overbridge at the site of Greenmount station, last stop before the Holcombe Brook branch terminus. The single platform was on the right hand side 29508 but closed to passengers in 1952 although the branch pick up goods continued to pass through until 1960. Behind the camera the trackbed has been completely built over all the way to the Holcombe Brook. The ramp leading down to the trackbed cycle path, known as the Kirklees Trail, can be seen on the right. Since this picture was taken in 2013 the demolished viaduct at Woolfold has been replaced by a new structure and the trail can now be followed all the way to Bury.
