LNWR Leeds New line/ Spen valley ringway

[L&Y]

Just a photo of two of the far end of the Spen Valley Ringway. I was planning to walk in from the Walkley Lane end. Heckmondwike. Unfortunatley this end is pretty overgrown and rather muddy so ended up walking the other direction onto the Greenway.  The L&Y line. Though in summer and without small children I think it would be passable. Still got a couple of pics of the bridge at Walkley Lane. Will add to this when I go back to walk the rest from the other end if anyones interested. Nothing very recent on the web and was wondering what state it was in.

Have always wanted to walk this bit. Kids really enjoy these kind of walks as you never quite know what you will find. 

Bridge at Walkley Lane.

 

As promised a few more photos of the LNWR Leeds new line and in particular Heckmondwike cutting. I really like this bit of railway. Fantastic stone work that you can't get a cigerette paper inbetween. Some of the block measure over 3' X 2'. Heaven knows how they moved them. Highly recommended for a railway walk. Perhaps my modelling would be better after a gallon of beer. It worked for the Navies who built this lot!

For more detailed information and a map  http://www.lostrailwayswestyorkshire.co.uk/leeds%20new%20line%203.htm New pic's added to post above as it was easier than trying to get the editor to work here.  Walked from Royds park to Heckmondwike. Parking can be challenging but fortunatley the doctors surgery next to the park was closed this morning so I parked in there.  

 

Sorry, link works first time for me! Just google "Lostrailwayswestyorkshire.co.uk" and navigate to it manually.

Photobucket issue ?

 

If so I guess many similar sites affected.

No - the link gives a 404 - not a photobucket replacement image, but a non-existent part of the address beyond the last slash.
