    I remember seeing that photo in the Chronic. A few years ago. Mitchell's Main in the background. To the left of the cyclist is the old vehicle scrap yard which became Priestley's factory & then Perfecta. I remember seeing one of the chimney stacks being felled. In the late 50's/early 60's. the cyclist was heading for Aldham Bridge (it was called Aldam on a signal box by the junction.). The railway bridge over the canal was used as a diving stage in summer. Again, I do not think that the canal was that deep bit is did not put some of the dare devils off.

    If that is Darfield 2 it is a preserved loco. It featured on MR. Portaloo's Great Railway Journeys. Amazing really that a colliery loco has been preserved.

    Brierley Park mate. Height of summer, used to be enough lads for 11 a side. Summer of 1990 must have spent hours there. Had done my GCSE's by mid June, Italia 90, brill weather. Life was bloody good, and bloody simple!! Pitches still there, I think Brierley Cubs are based there.
