Another modern day shed bash to Huddersfield Hillhouse (55G) to see what remains of the shed site

[@majorpygge-phartt2643]

Is that not an old tram line at 12:29? Or it could be an old L&Y siding as they often had sharply curved sidings in their yards which is what the "pug" 0-4-0 steam loco's were made for as only that size of loco, and four wheeled wagons could travel such tight bends, and they often had little mini turntables which were made for four wheel wagons to turn through 90 degrees into sheds, just in case any younger folk might be watching this who most likely won't have seen any of the old sites unless they've ever visited a preserved heritage site where such old stuff is still in place to show the history, like one really old site somewhere near leeds, I can't remember the name of it right now, but apparently it's been there since about 1758 at the real birth of the first ever "railways" with wooden rails for old horse drawn wagons, round about the same time as the early canals were being built.

Is that really a rail bridge at 9:57?! It looks more like an aqueduct for a canal! Was it built by a canal architect? There's another rail bridge still in use at kearsley just like that one built to excessive proportions just like an aqueduct.

I think it may be a branch line to the coal drops instead of the main line.

The industrial estate was the site of the old Newtown goods yard built by the midland railway, when it became part of the lms there was a junction put in between the current lines and the Newtown goods yard, hillhouse shed used to be 25b and from 1950 to 1957 jubilee class 45596 Bahamas was based there , I believe there is going to be storage site for the dmu’s etc instead of them having to be stored at Huddersfield station don’t know if they are going to build a temporary station there when longer closures of Huddersfield station are going to happen

Thanks for the info Graeme.

Graeme is right about the DMUs moving to Hillhouse as the stabling at the station will become platform 9. Also the sidings will have water & toilet facilities. I’m surprised you missed the two coat of arms on the station front.

@@RachelTaylor-z5j There is a limitation to on-the-spot observations Rachel. Thanks for the comment.

If I may point you to exploring the past and present channel on KZbin then put Hill house sheds you will get your answer. He will explain in depth what those lines were for but you have successfully found where the sheds were

[@laticsfan]

Very informative. Thanks for the info.
