The Pickle Bridge line is a disused railway route in Northern England that ran between Huddersfield and Bradford.It suffered from subsidence due to local mine workings and a speed limit was imposed, followed by diversion of all passenger services in 1948[3] and complete closure of the line in 1952.The viaduct continued to deteriorate and British Rail applied for permission to partly demolish it, as by this time it was grade II listed.This permission was granted and the 14 arches at the northern end of the viaduct were demolished in 1987.It was previously managed by BRB (Residuary) Ltd., but now by National Highways as part of the Historical Railways Estate.
