Underneath the arches
The elegant Midland Railway arches and canopy that define Hellifield Station help frame DB Shed no. 66156 as it slowly approaches with the 07.02 Mossend Yard - Clitheroe Castle Cement (4M00).
It was my first visit in 40 years and good to see this 1880 built structure in such fine fettle ...... even if the platform needed a bit of weeding! Sadly we'd already eaten, otherwise the "Fireman's Breakfast" on offer at the station cafe would surely have been taken up.
