Street Scenes

*****************************************************************************************************************************************************************

 

A view looking along Market Street towards the station, showing the remaining pre-fabricated buildings which are host to several local merchants. These snapshots of the locale highlight certain aspects - the vegetation has got out of hand and needs the council to come around and tidy things up.

 

The layout detailing work continues, with the addition of street signs having been made and planted.

 

The entrance to Hornsey Road depot. There's not much chance of sneaking past the Foreman's office.

 

Business carries on as normal along Hornsey New Road, whilst the trains rumble down below.

 

There's still plenty of work being carried out at the garage in Market Street, long after closing time.

 

Outside the station at Shenston Road.

 

Street scene at Shenston Road.

 

Looking the other way, highlighting the painted fences and floral gardens.

 

Scalelink etched brass pram, with mother and kids on Market Street, and another with the hood up spotted along Hornsey New Road.

 

A view looking down Hornsey Road, with the loco depot to the right....

 

...and looking in the opposite direction near the milk depot.

 

The buildings that form Long Row at Hornsey, overlooking the railway.

 

Retaining walls and steps at Hebble Vale, typical of the area around Halifax.

 

A view near the traffic lights on Sunbridge Road, Wibdenshaw.

 

A ex-Bradford Corporation 33ft Daimler Fleetline in WYPTE colours waits for the green light.

 

Bradford Road, Wibdenshaw during a busy moment.

 

The Bus Station end of Sunbridge Road.

 

Grocers shop at Morfa Bank..... "we sell everything".

 

.... and across the road is a patch of land awaiting redevelopment.

 

Shenston Road - Shored up house.

 

Shenston Road - Commercially available resin buildings, with the addition of improvised walling and extra detailing.

 

Shenston Road - Cast resin buildings by Hornby (Skaledale), and Scenix. The lamp posts are made from footbridge support columns, with added detail.

 

Some more Scenix buildings at Wibdenshaw.

 

The merchants house on Hornsey Road.

 

..... and in the process of demolition just around the corner.

 

Part demolished buildings for Hornsey Broadway.

 

A Birmingham Fleetline (EFE) passing a row of houses (Hornby Kits) by the station at Shenston Road.

 

Morfa Bank - The two rather dubious residents of the yard are being visited by a member of the local Constabulary, who is waiting patiently at the gate.

 

Whilst PC Jenkins conducts his enquiries into some missing car parts, their dog Fido, is barking at the letterbox.

 

Meanwhile, their other mutt Jasper, is tangled up with toilet paper outside the rather basic 'facilities'....

 

Will re-inforcements be required, or will they come quietly?
