As I think I suggested in my last post, we're avoiding Bradford at the moment. We will be back there, but there's plenty more to do before that. Anyroad, as they say around here, we''ve turned towards Halfax (the map is here) and the first stop is the GNR station at Queensbury, a triangular affair. It has all vanished now.
Here is Queensbury High Street.
Bradford trams reached Queensbury.
Trams from Halifax also served Queensbury, though there was no physical connection between the two.
South now, to Ovenden station, L&YR.
What looks to be a LMS excursion calls.
One could once sample locally brewed Webster's beer at the Yew Tree, Northowram. Not any more...... Webster's and the pub are no more.
The Stump Cross Inn, in the village of the same name, was closed in August 1991, but has since reopened. Meanwhile, there's a bus rally passing by.
Just up the hill, an ancient charabanc tackles the climb in 1989.
High above Halifax is Shibden Hall.
The Red Lion, high above Shibden at Boothtown, seems to have vanished into the ether! Apparently, it suffered a fire.
The nearby Sportsman doesn't seem to be open as well.
Buses from the Halifax bus rally once took passengers up to the Sportsman.
As we enter Halifax, we find the Old Shears Inn, Dean Clough, where it never rains! It has now changed into a music bar called the Hop Monkey and has a selection of cask ales.
Next time...... a good look at Halifax.
