Leeds Central Railway Station
Dating back to 1850, the lifting tower was one of a pair which stood either side of the river and canal viaduct. Using steam power and large chains, its role was to hoist wagons from the higher-level passenger line down to the Great Northern Goods yard at the original Leeds Central railway station.
The last train left from Leeds Central on 29 April 1967 and was an early evening service to Harrogate. Detonators were placed on the track by railway staff which exploded as the train rolled away from the platform and past the signal box on its final departure.
