Railway bridge over Hopton New Road There are actually two bridges here, a relatively narrow one that now only carries one westbound track, and a much wider one, forming a short tunnel, that runs beneath the island platform of the two eastbound tracks. On the left abutment is a mural saying "Welcome to Mirfield". I did take a close-up of it, but found that someone else had submitted a virtually identical shot only a week earlier <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7043565">SE2019 : Mirfield Station artwork</a>.

Ledgard Bridge Mills, Mirfield The former woollen mill was converted to apartments some time before 2010, judging by other photos on this site. The southern end seems to have been totally rebuilt. Ledgard Bridge Mill is the name on old maps, but <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2779520">SE2019 : Forty passing Mill</a> shows it in 1980 when it bore the name Lyles. There may be a connection between the Ledgard after whom the bridge and mill were named, and the family of that name in Leeds (brewers and bus operators), but a brief online search didn't establish that.
