Birds eye view of Dewsbury (LNER) station tunnel mouth
The tunnel mouth was hemmed in next to the bridge, that carried Leeds Road over the railway.
The semi circular, grey coloured area, on top of the tunnel was inaccessible and so no-one is exactly certain that this is how it looked, or exactly why the bricks on top were built as a curved wall (like half a tunnel vent) This area is of great interest to me, as I can remember walking down Leeds Road after the road bridge sides had been removed, the cutting was filled in and you could actually see inside the tunnel, which had been filled in leaving a space under the roof.
In this view, you can see the shunting signal that was on the wall between the bridge and tunnel.
