Description: | Undated. This photograph of the Great Northern Railway Station at Morley (otherwise known as Morley Top) was taken by Richard Simpson, who had a photographic studio in a wooden shed at the side of the Nelson Arms. It is looking towards Gildersome and Bradford, or more immediately Fountain Street Bridge. In the background are the workings of a colliery and some coal trucks. The mill chimney over the top of the signal box probably belongs to Parkfield Mill which was completed in 1906. On the other platform a new way up to the station had been completed about 1903-04 and this can be seen running off the edge to the right hand side. Above the shed here is the roof line of Greenfield House and by that the chimney of Watson Bros. Fountain Street Mills. Another mill chimney further in the distance would be that of Stockdale's mill on Little Fountain Street known as Field Mills.
