A beautiful winter look at my very local linear park. This used to be the railway track route from Oldham to Delph, many years back known as the Delph Donkey line. Opened in 1849 by the LNWR (London & North Western railway) connecting my local town of Oldham to the main Huddersfield to Manchester line. A mixture of steam engines ran on here including the famous Fowler 7F’s and Austerity 2-8-0’s. It was closed in 1963 and turned into a cycle & walkway in 1964. As you can see, it can be a real beauty.
