Shepley station sign

We cycled from Darton to Shepley station via the Emley Moor transmission station, which is the tallest free-standing structure in the UK. Shepley station itself is a wonderfully calm place, with fields on almost all sides.

To the east of the bridge, opposite platform 2 are some buildings: a (probably modern) house and what looks like an old goods shed:
