More about this scene

The viaduct which carries the main Sheffield-Leeds railway line dominates this view of the High Street of the South Yorkshire town of Denby Dale. Denby Dale is perhaps most famous for its gargantuan meat and potato pies, first baked to celebrate the recovery of King George III from one of his many bouts of illness.

Greenfeeds on the right of the picture is where I lived. The premises were owned by my family since the early 1800's and at that time they also owned the Prospect Pub. My great grandfather also had tenants renting properties he owned up the High St, the road leading up to the viaduct.
