Denby Dale station is a small station on the Penistone line between Penistone and Shepley. The area around the station is dominated by the Denby Dale viaduct, one of whose piers bears the station information boards:

Taking the road (Wood Lane) to the right of the viaduct in the previous picture leads us past a roundabout serving as a bus station to an old shed:
