Summary

Description
English: Heckmondwicke cutting-The Leeds new line This overgrown railway cutting in Heckmondwike,Yorkshire was on the L.N.W.R Heaton Lodge - Farnley Junction Leeds (Leeds New Line)

The line was opened in 1900 and closed in 1965. There are a total of 6 overbridges, and the 50 yd Cook lane tunnel in this short section of cutting. This section of line is between Heckmondwicke, and Liversedge stations, It remained in use between Heckmondwike Spen goods yard, and the oil terminal at Liversedge until 1986. Charrington Hargreaves oil terminal was at the former Liversedge Spen Goods Yard. The terminal was mothballed in 1986.

The building of the Leeds New line involved a tremendous amount of earth works.
