Stansfield Hall footbridge

The footbridge at Stansfield Hall has been popular location for photographs of the railway over the years. It was here that the Halt of the same name was located just to the north, whilst this was good spot for viewing the bankers manoeuvring to and from their siding. The bridge has been rebuilt with a steel deck in recent times, with the plates used to reinforce the structure dated 1992. The following images were taken on the morning of Saturday 22 March 2014.
