Greenfield Heritage Park. Looking northeast along the trackbed of the Holywell branch railway line. This is now a footpath through the Greenfield Valley Heritage Park. When I was a youngster, there was a footbridge at this location, carrying the pedestrian path from the slope at left over the railway and down to the path at right.
