Hadfield 5th Aug 1989

The view east from the platform ends at Hadfield on Saturday 5th August 1989 looking towards Woodhead with the unmistakable outline of Wild Boar Clough on the right. This is the start of the trackless 14 miles to Penistone & also the most iconic section of the Woodhead Route with Padfield Main Road bridge in the distance with it's electric-railway-compliant raised parapet. Eight years after closure nature is gradually reclaiming the alignment with Rosebay Willowherb "The Railway Plant" discreetly in evidence.
