Dist:0.4km north<br/>This viaduct represents an interesting, though in the end futile, attempt by the Midland Railway to reach Huddersfield and the West Riding hinterland. It onlt carried a single line, and while it did reach Huddersfield, the Midland were never able to build a station there or even run passenger trains over their line at all; at the Huddersfield end, all it ever connected with was the gasworks!
