Coal Road At Sowerby Bridge Station

Taken in April 2014, the Sowerby Bridge Coal Drops provided the town with the delivery of a vital heating and cooking resource until the mid 1970's. Once they had ceased to be used the were left to decline until a couple of years after this picture was taken and all the wood beams and top railings were removed. This road used to allow access to the coal drops from the yard and road below. There had been a plan to build housing in the coal drops but this never happened and it is now a storage yard for a builders merchant. www.colingreenphotography.co.uk
