Lots of memories for me there Phillica. In particular, as an eight to nine year old I used to cross over the Whitehall Road bridge by Dunlop and Rankins - inside the girders. On viewing the access holes we had used when I was older I shuddered. I have no idea how we managed to enter them, even when we were much smaller. What would have happened if we were badly injured and how anyone could have got us out I cannot imagine.Incidentally, the photo titled Branch Road Wortley (supposedly) is of the upper end of the Branch Road Lower Wortley which links Whitehall Road with Lower Wortley Road crossing over the Ring Road on the way. At one time in the 1950s I delivered newspapers for the newsagents just visible at the top of the little group of shops on the right. The opposite end at Whitehall Road was adjacent to the Dunlop and Rankin bridge I refer to above.
