As a general rule of thumb, you can say that everything that has been demolished or destroyed was better than whatever has replaced it.

@ProTroll_UK 3 месяца назад

So every amazing building that stands now (be it old or new) is worst than what stood before it…. Ok 😂🤣🤦‍♂️

@railwaychristina3192 2 месяца назад

Why was Bradford picked on for systematic destruction of magnificent structures and architecture, people lost their lives building? Why weren't the buildings listed?. Now we have to worry about noise and car pollution.

@@railwaychristina3192 Yes, I think I know that one, taken in 1895. That station also was cruelly demolished in '69 and replaced with a new modern one of unique hideousness. Talk about 'Build Back Better'!

As a disabled pensioner, we're not 'too lazy', but cannot get that far under our own steam (pun intended). It's bad now with the Interchange shut, have a heck of a hike to catch a bus when you come in by train. Took me 40 minutes to get to Jacobs Well (stand E11) last time, zig zagging over Hall Ings.! I do remember, vaguely, Adolphus Street station building from when I was a kid, living in Bradford.

My uncle jim work in the goods yard there in the 1950s he's in his nineties now but he can tell some real stories about his time there. Unfortunately he's in the best of health now but I'm going to share this with him thank you so much.

Fuuny that you say it was too far out of the city centre, when you consider that the clowns now in charge want to move it back out that way by St James Market.

Darren, another great watch "As always." The photo fade at 4:11 has a interesting dog in the lower right corner. Your photo fade of the derailment reminds me of the photo of the Montparnasse Derailment "1896???" Thanks to Darren for helping to keep history alive.

Been meaning to take a look at this for some time, but have unfortunately never gotten round to visiting it. Also been hearing about Adolphus Street for a while, but never realised where exactly it was, and its just mind-blowing seeing how much of the site has changed beyond recognition!

@caleblindley7142 3 месяца назад

Another great video and hope you do many more of these old stations and railways. A shame they had to demolish the station, could have turned the station into a market rather then having new building for St James's Market.

@shirleysmith1713 3 месяца назад

Enjoyed this video. So very informative. Love the photo fades, makes the video interesting. Thanks for sharing Darren 👍🏻☀️😀

@ZappaTime 3 месяца назад

Love the fade-ins; always wondered just exactly where the Adolphus St Station was after all the talk about building a new station on the site. Amazing to see the coal drops still there too. Love these videos unearthing the remains of the old railway infrastructure of which there was a lot in Bradford. 👍

@kevinh96 2 месяца назад

There are a lot of old abandoned railway lines and infrastructure left all around West Yorkshire. In the village of Ryhill to the south of Wakefield is the remnants of a station where the platforms can be seen along with the original railway bridge (now filled in) that went under Station Road. The line itself is a footpath and you can follow it along and still find some remnants of an old railway bridge and across the other side an intact railway bridge that the path goes under. Fascinating to see old images of what was there before in towns, villages and cities you know.

@cedarcam 3 месяца назад

A man used to park his car and sat in it right where the locomotive came through the wall. A workmate who retired and one I worked with were in a nearby cafe and heard the crash, they went out to see what happened, luckily that day the car was not there, the man who retired, who I only met a couple of times, carried a camera and took photos right after it happened, I have a photo of the engine still in steam taken just after the accident. It was left in the depot when he retired as it is a bit out of focus, he kept the other photos he took, probably now lost for ever.

White hotel was The Great Northern . Great Tetleys hand pulled in the mud 70’s . Remember the derelict station well.

@davidjbatley 3 месяца назад

I made a post earlier but I remember my uncle telling me that on an evening shift in the goods yard the landlord would line pints up on the wall for the lads working on shunting they would duly oblige and leave money for the next round. On one of those occasions when they returned to the yard they discovered a very old looking steam locomotive without a driver or fireman apparently no one knew anything about it and it was blocking the line, various lads tried to move it but gave up and went back to the pub whilst the station manager reported it. The next day it had gone but they never found out why or who drove it there. Drinking and shunting waggons don't think you could get away with it nowadays probably not then either but no one ever got sacked maybe lost an arm or leg.

Thank you another great film uncovering old Bradford. My father used to talk of Adolphus Street. Now I know where it was. I remember visiting the old St James' Market, just off Leeds Road, my aunt worked in an office there. There was the abattoir there and I remember seeing the animals waiting to be killed. Not entirely pleasant!

Adolphus Street became a goods station when the Great Northern was allowed to use Exchange Station.

@paulharvey9149 3 месяца назад

All very fascinating, Darren. It's amazing how much the city/land scapes change, isn't it? If you're ever inclined, Dundee is another very interesting city when it comes to transport infrastructure, as there were two, long-gone railway termini, as well as two large docks in the area that now accommodates the end of the Tay Road Bridge and its approaches - and room for only a single, goods wagon connection line between them - running along the length of Dock Street. A third city terminus also existed a few streets inland - as well as several suburban stations and large goods yards - of which there are various remnants for those who care to look and have an eye for such things! The present station, which is also the newest, was at the end of a street and next to the Tay ferry terminal - all looking very, very different today - and it would be great to see some of your before and after fade-ins of these places... Plus, the city's fascinating transport museum has the sole remaining tramway depot and is currently raising the funds to move into it. And if you leave until after June 2, the new Leven branch isnt that far away either.

2:22 Wow. Sometimes when I were a little lad I just didn't believe that "this was all fields when I was your age" or "there's the only bit left of the..." because adults knew how the world worked and my age group was the one making all the mistakes. Thought that they were just telling lies cos such planet-sized complete change was too much to accept. 2:22 How many Adolphus Street users would have correctly guessed a brambly thicket on a main road and roundabout ?
