This view alas has gone for ever. The station was demolished about the time of the intensive alterations to Healey Mills marshalling yard. Horbury Station Box became one of the many which became redundant with the commissioning of the Power Box connected to operations with the alterations at Healey Mills Freight Marshalling Yard. Horbury Station Box very well known inside & out, personally as Train Booker in 1941. Employed during the war on 3 turns days, afternoons & nights age 15. During the war juveniles allowed to work nights Government consent. After the war this changed to 17 years of age. Government consent. |

Bottom right road over rail line Thornhill Midland Junction towards Royston Junction is the continuation from Horbury Bridge towards Netherton & Middlestown. Lowering photo by dragging brings more railway into view. The first group of wagons are loaded from Hartley Bank Colliery & dragging left Hartley Bank Coal Drops come into view. The wagons just beyond are empty ready to be taken to the colliery by private engine. The next long rake of wagons has a railway brake van at the end. This is a train of loaded wagons stabled in Horbury Buffers. The signal box opposite the coal drops is Horbury Station Box. Small building to right of box is the local ganger & platelayers hut. A train of passenger stock hauled by a Class 4 is about to pass the signal box towards Wakefield and would be on the Down Fast line. There is a small roofed building near to & left of coal drops is Hartley Bank weighbridge. The signal box being the start of own railway employment as Junior Porter Train Booker |
