Onto the old track bed - former Rishworth to Sowerby Bridge branch line - closed to Passengers in 1928 - Freight 1958
Stepney railway station is a disused railway station on the York and North Midland Railway's Victoria Dock Branch Line in Stepney, Kingston upon Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It was first opened on 8 May 1848 and closed in November 1854. It was reopened on 1 June 1864, before closing permanently on 19 October 1964.
This is some of the things left over from an illegal cat holding area, think it was traveling folks that had it as it didn't last long but the place is now an eye sore.
… all that is left of the defunct Petite Ceinture line. This is the derelict part of the station. The rest is fully functional for all local lines terminating in Paris Saint-Lazare.

A scene from a visit Mid-December (2018)
Passenger trains stopped running here (Rochdale to Bacup line) in June 1947 due to competition from road transport... A temporary coal-supply crises was also cited as a reason... but passenger services stopped altogether in 1949...
Goods trains continued to run until 1963 - which coincides with Dr Beeching's controversial railway Axe - closing over 5,000 miles of track and 2,363 stations. (in UK)
Ein Foto, bei dem ich mich wieder schwer entscheiden konnte, ob ich die Farb- oder Schwarzweißvariante poste...
A photo which I once again had difficulties in deciding wether to post the colour or the black and white version...

Disused industrial pier at Hartlepool. A section has been removed to prevent access to the far end !
Disused mine at Minions, Bodmin Moor, Cornwall.
This is the Phoenix United mine complex, with the landmark Pumping Engine House and its prominent chimney at the right and other mining buildings to its left. This mine produced over 16,000 tons of tin and 83,000 tons of copper between 1842 and 1898, and was re-opened after the sinking of a new shaft in 1907. However, the expected tin resources were not in place and it was re-closed in 1914.
Looks like that door hasn't been open in a while.
Unusual to see a barbers going out of business.
