History dude Posted September 17, 2019 Author Share Posted September 17, 2019 Having recently purchased the book I think it's excellent value for money. It covers all the old yards in the South Yorkshire area too. And reveals what they had to do to construct the Tinsley Yard. As one railway official said, "there was a bloody big mountain in the way". They also had to drain an old colliery pumping house pond, which had over 1,400 fish in it, the fish were all moved to another lake in Rotherham. Fully detailed, it takes you to the closure and shows what is left on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

History dude Posted March 5, 2023 Author Share Posted March 5, 2023 Tinsley Great Central closed 29 October 1951. Tinsley Road Great Central became West Tinsley closed 11 September 1939. So there was only two. With one becoming the other. West Tinsley can be seen below perhaps shortly before it's closure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
