<b>Site of former Ecclesfield East station, 1998.</b><br>
The first of the two Sheffield - Barnsley railways through the Blackburn Valley was the ex-GCR line here, with a station at Ecclesfield ('Ecclesfield Esat from 25/9/50) lasted only until 7/12/53. (The parallel ex-Midland line is still open but its Eccesfield (West) station closed in 11/67). The view over waste-ground is eastward on the road to Thorpe Common and the M1 motorway runs through just ahead.
