Join me in this series, as we explore the disused and lost Queensbury Lines.
In this video, we are going to look at Queensbury Station, the vast site that is now unrecognisable just on the outskirts of Bradford. We head towards the portal for the abandoned Clayton Tunnel and look for any relics that remain of this former station.

The "railway related" red brick buildings at 8.39 minutes were connected to and built by the Clayton Fireclay Brickworks . Founded by Mr Julius Whitehead in 1880 the works closed in 1970. The works buildings have long gone but the elaborate chimney, showing examples of the products made in the works can still be seen. The company produced sanitary wear, glazed bricks and chimney pots.

I’m from Queensbury and have always had an interest in the old station and what it used to be like… very interesting video, and it’s great to see some photos of the place I didn’t even know existed! If you go on Carter Lane you can get a good view overlooking the old triangle, there is a classic photo of the station taken from here, and if you look closely you can still see the red and white chimney to orientate yourself. Look forward to seeing part 2!

It's amazing just how different somewhere can become and actually in a relatively short time. Literally, if you didn't know that there was a railway there then you would never know. Most of what you have shown (apart from the bridge and you would question wtf is a bridge doing here) just wouldn't give any clue as to magnitiude of what was once there. Just amazing. Love it, looking forward to the next one.

First learnt about “The Queensbury Lines” in 1993 when on the train home from work. Over the mountain to Queensbury( A Steam days publication). I was into disused tunnels and of course i was hooked from then on. First visited Queensbury tunnel and station site in 2000. Saw the flooded end and this end and nearly all the other tunnels & viaducts. What a lovely line it was. Some good books on it thru Willowherb publishing with amazing pictures if the lines in decline. Hope Queensbury tunnel gets re opened

Great video Darren, I notice absolutely every unusual stonework/brickwork etc whilst out and about with the family. Particular favourite of mine is lemonroyd lock. I think that was the first video I saw of yours as I were investigating the flood that happened on the coal mine. Also someone has been down to the old lock very recently and cut back all the bushes etc to save it from nature taking over which is fantastic. Keep up the good work mate.

Around five years ago I was a courier in this area on a Sunday. I used to spend my lunchtimes exploring this fascinating site, and have many books about Queensbury. The combination of the unusual triangular shape of the site, together with the infilling makes it very difficult to orientate yourself on site. A fascinating part one, I look forward to future episodes.

Hi Darren! Been offline a while so great to see you are covering a line that is most dear to me, albeit the thing was long gone before I was even born! 😂 I was lucky enough to live in Oakworth as an infant so the ‘mysterious’ line that ran off the KWVR and then disappeared was of great interest. My dad worked in Bradford but often took the back way which involved taking roads from which you could still see the abandoned bridges etc of this line for part of the way. 🤓 Solid detective work by you and Andy, and I’d say you are probably spot on about the platform 🤔 So hard to believe there was a load of infrastructure there. Funnily enough I was thinking of Shipley, though when I was a lad there was actually only one set of platforms, so if you were going to Leeds the train would stop and have to be reversed before continuing! 🤣😂😅 It reminds me of somewhere like Bulwell, where there was once a complex of primarily coal carrying railways all interchanging, yet now there is nothing much to mention left (albeit the local passenger line still exists just ‘up the road’) to to indicate the plethora of rails that once de ends upon it! 🤷🏻‍♂️ Cheers mate,going to dive into the next episode now! 😉👍🍀🍻

Halfway up Station Road (not Lane) can clearly be seen the remains of the buttresses for a bridge that would have carried a narrow-gauge line up the steep hillside towards the Scarlet Heights area of Queensbury. This was to carry the coal that had been mined by the Foster family from their small pits down in the triangle area up to the famous Black Dyke Mill above.

It never ceases to amaze (and sadden) me to realise just how much time and effort they put into making sure that once these lines closed, they stayed closed for good. I bet you're right and most of the brick and stone (if not the iron and steel) is still on site somewhere, buried under hundreds of tons of landfill. What a waste. And worst of all, the Queensbury Tunnel saga proves they've learned absolutely nothing.

Nice video. I wandered around there a few years back - it was wet and very cold. I managed the slope down to the Clayton tunnel portal - just wear thick gloves and lots of padding... Solid steel door with combination lock at boggy bottom - oh and danger warning sign thrown down the slope. The bridge is a bit weird, I can only think that the pipe going over it prevented easy removal for scrap. I read somewhere that the Clayton cutting was infilled without permission 🤷‍♂️

Not withstanding where roads/motorways were built, but the wholesale demolishing of so many railways in the UK was not only a travesty, it was a truly grave mistake.

Hi Darren, great episode. That first Station Rd/lane is badly in need of pot hole repairs🤔 unless its unadopted, also goes to show on the b/w image of that footbridge and booking hall? that the peas hooter/window smashes had already been there. Vandalism strikes again in the 1950's 😈 Hope the Mersey Ferry gig went well and Gary B got the upper hand on the audience. Cheers DougT in Mancs

Great video. I have just walked down past the station into Thornton over the viaduct. Nice walk but coming back uphill on Station Road back into Queensbury was a struggle. Like you say - that had probably something to do with the stations demise although I can imagine a fleet of horse and carts operating on that road. Looking forward to part 2.

It was just a busy junction that was near Queensbury so they thought to add a station too I think.

Hello, elder brother Andy! Didn't know you were getting enthused about abandoned railways... AdventureMe - His younger sister (that's me!) has been into railways (living and abandoned) for over 20 years. I'm based in southern Lincs and also available for abandoned railway vids with said Lincolnshire flavour, if you fancy travelling further afield...
