AROUND HEBDEN BRIDGE

Now, we're up on the moors above Hebden Bridge, looking down into the town.

Here's Hebden Bridge from Wood Top.

Hebden old water wheel.

We now head into the town itself, finding the Old Bridge.

The Rochdale Canal runs through the town.

Next stop is Hebden Bridge railway station, as a class 47 passes through on a container train in 1988.

A Northern 158 passes the ex L&YR signal box.

Hebden Bridge station retains many of its original features.

Halifax's trams reached Hebden Bridge. Car 38 is seen at the terminus.

West Yorkshire PTE became the dominant bus operator in the 1970s and '80s.

Firstbus now run most services.

Other operators include TLC and Transdev.

Pub time now! First stop, a micropub. Seen here as Calan's, it's now renamed as The Pub.

The Hole in t' Wall has, sadly, now closed.

Moyles, another free house, is still closed after a big flood.

The Old Gate is quite upmarket, but has good beer.

Handy for the canal facilities, the Railway.

The White Lion, a former Whitbread house.

Opposite the Old Bridge is the White Swan.

Heading west out of town, we come across the Fox & Goose, now a co-operative community pub.

Following the Rochdale Canal, here is Bridge 19.

Stubbing Wharf Middle Lock.

And now the Upper Lock.

Of more importance perhaps, the Stubbing Wharf pub.

Up a great big hill now to Heptonstall

Luckily, there's a pub in Heptonstall, the Cross Inn.

We end this post at Hardcastle Crags, owned by the National Trust.

We'll be crossing the moors in the next post. Don't forget, you can follow the route here.
