Description: | April 1972. Looking along the route to Leeds from the path between Daisy Hill and Valley Road. Many changes have taken place in the past dozen years. All the sidings between the main line and the remains of the gasworks have been taken up. Twelve years before these sidings had been used to store the coaches that were used to take people to Blackpool on Saturday trips i.e. workers from a particular mill or firm or people patronizing a particular working men's club. Seventy years before the sidings had been used to store coal for the gasworks. The area of sidings and loading ramp just beyond the signal box has also disappeared and the ramp that brought trucks from Morley Main seems to have no purpose at this time. The semaphore signals have been replaced by traffic lights but the old gas lamps on the platform still survive.
