Looking from Newland Bridge towards Normanton Station

In the Victorian Era Normanton had the longest station platform and was the second largest junction in the country, and Queen Victoria, Gladstone and Disraeli all stayed at the Flying Scotsman by the station. Nowadays it's all been flattened and the station is little more than a bus shelter!
