SecretLeeds - History, culture and architecture in Leeds

As a newcomer to Secret Leeds i have been looking at the previous threads on Transport Leeds Do's anyone know of the whereabouts of any pictures on this station?I've seen the one that was shown in the threads last year. Brought back many memories of playing in the station yard in the 1950s especially in Blakey's Hematite (think thats what is was called) stock pile and going home with red feet. Brillant site, look forward to my next visit.

Moved to Transport section...Cheers,Admin

Worked at Bramley stn in the sixties,station master ernest jones was in charge of both stations.There was a porter named Joe who was a communist and even in those days had visited Russia.He was not very customer freindly.There was also a freight shunter I think called Tony who was a 'small person'difficult job for someone of that size,I think he lived in a multi storey flat and had difficulty reaching the right button inthe lift for his floor.
