Join me on a fascinating walking tour around the Cross Green area of Leeds, where we uncover the remnants of two historic railways that once played a crucial role in the city's industrial past. We'll trace the path of the Hunslet branch line that connected the bustling depot at Neville Hill to the wider rail network. Though the bridge over the River Aire is long gone, parts of this line still operate today, serving the local cement works.
We'll also explore the route of a now-disappeared railway that once ran from Waterloo Colliery, a vital part of Leeds' coal industry, transporting coal to a depot where it was loaded onto lorries. Along the way, we'll discover the rich heritage of the area, passing by old churches, traditional pubs, and the iconic red brick residential buildings that are quintessentially Leeds.
This journey through Leeds' lesser-known history is a must for railway enthusiasts and history buffs alike. Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more explorations of the hidden gems in and around Leeds.
