Millbrook sidings goods shed! 10-5-09
Another boring Sunday with stir crazy! I decided to look on google earth and find somewhere to photograph that looked derelict! I was rewarded with this place!
Bizarrely, after taking shots of the building – I met two other Urbexers that I did the concrete barge explore with! Niether party knew the other would be there! Coincidences to the extreme or great minds! Stop stalking me smurf! Ha ha!
It is to the east of where Hartshead Power Station was right up to it’s demolition and still stands today! It is a big sturdy building that housed goods and provided mess rooms for workers.
It has been difficult to find out much info about it like dates, etc. I spent hours merely finding a name for it!
Nearby is a long overhead, enclosed conveyor; it was used to transport coal to the power station over the Huddersfield canal after trains delivered it.
There are a series of tracks still in place and some underground tunnels that were also conveyor systems to transport the coal to the main one.
Millbrook is the only remaining goods shed out of the four that once serviced the line.
It has upper floors but the stairs are long gone!
An old service pit.
A concrete support.
The main hopper!
An old electrolytic capacitor.
The remaining end of the hopper.
A tree growing between two old train tracks.
The underground conveyor chute, trains would have parked over these and delivered the coal.
The other end that once stretched over the Huddersfield canal to Hartshead power station.
