"The Upper Calder Valley lies in West Yorkshire, in northern England, and covers the towns of Todmorden, Hebden Bridge, Mytholmroyd, Luddendenfoot, and Sowerby Bridge, as well as a number of smaller settlements such as Portsmouth, Cornholme, Walsden, and Eastwood. The valley is the upper valley of the River Calder. Major tributaries of the Upper Calder include the Walsden Water, which flows through the large village of Walsden to join the Calder at Todmorden; the Hebden Water, which flows through Hebden Dale to join the Calder at Hebden Bridge; Cragg Brook, which flows through Cragg Vale to join the Calder at Mytholmroyd, and the largest, the River Ryburn, which joins the Calder at Sowerby Bridge.
The Upper Calder Valley falls entirely within the much larger metropolitan district of Calderdale. The towns of the Upper Calder are situated linearly along the valley, which cuts through the eastern slopes of the Pennines from Portsmouth in the west to Sowerby Bridge, a market town on the outskirts of Halifax, in the east." - info from Wikipedia.

Notice those large solar arrays, very nice! You see quite a few wind turbines around the valley but this is the first time I've spotted large solar installations too.
156486 has just left the old Mytholmroyd station and is passing the new one, which is in the early stages of being constructed. 30/6/91. The 156 was working the 12:05 Liverpool Lime Street to York service. The location hadn't got much longer to go, as the new station made standing in this spot too "uncomfortable" and Michael stopped controlling the vegatation. It's just a tree-lined tunnel here, these days.
Despite the loss of it's roof decades ago, an event that usually precipitates the rapid collapse of a ruin, Red Dikes is so substantially built that it's walls remain largely intact to their original height, with only the partial collapse of internal walls at the top courses of the second story.
37077 passes Mytholmroyd with 6M08 01.50 Haverton Hill to Glazebrook. 18/6/87. This working travelled outward via the Calder Valley and returned over Diggle. If this shot was attempted these days, the photo would be taken in a tree-lined tunnel.
