Station Name: GREAT HARWOODharwood_old_large3.jpg) A Whit Walk or Walking Day parade circa 1910. To the right is Great Harwood West signal box and the lamp room building. To the right is the four lane carriage shed, while at the end is the side view of the down platform building and goods shed. Note the signalman leaning over the wall watching the parade, and the very tall home signal post so it could be seen above the close by St. Hubert's road bridge (later known as Unity bridge). The West signal box was generally only opened for carriage shed stock arrivals and departures. This elevated view appears to have been taken from an upstairs window from one of the two end houses on St. Hubert's Street. Click here to see more of the parade.
