Railway bridge at Hollins Hill The railway from Shipley to Ilkley is crossed by Hollins Hill on a skew bridge that amounts to a short tunnel. From the width of the bridge I presume it was originally double track, but is now only single, possibly because of the clearance needed for the electric catenary installed c.2000.
