Eastwood
The cramped site at Eastwood required some ingenuity in designing the station. This excavated recess in the steep hillside housed the station building, an adjoining office and the signal box. The buildings looked directly over a level crossing with staggered platforms on either side. There was even room for a small goods siding on this side of the tracks. More surprisingly, the goods siding remained open for traffic for thirteen years after the station closed to passengers in 1951. A boarded foot crossing and the long ramps down to the main road are all that remains. In this July 2022 scene, looking towards Hebden Bridge, a Class 195 passes heading for Blackpool.
