having spent the weekend in the Calder valley, I felt like I'd been having flash backs to half of @ColinJ 's NTR offerings....

Were you on your bike?

The NTR could be this:

No, My cousin was having a 50th party in Brighouse - Mamil cafe - good bike friendly cafe / bar shameless plug for my cousins mate....https://www.mamilcafebar.com/
But we drove up the valley thru Mytholmroyd to Hebden Bridge and around. Didn't get as far as Todmorden though. I also took the OH to see Emley Moor mast, which she was disappointed underwhelmed at the prospect of, but humoured me with allowing the detour when I told her it was bigger than The Shard.

The NTR could be this:

I don't think so. On the left hand side of the road in the NTR you can see through the hedge into a field beyond. On the left of this is a big embankment. (Clearer if you look at the Nov 2009 streetmap pic)

I'm afraid not. Bit of a lookalike but wrong part of the planet

There may be some clues along later. Meanwhile NTR

the lack of signage on the bridge suggests a disused railway going over it... so I'll start in the north and work my way down

As you have suggested, I'm working my way from North to South, and I found this stunning disused bridge converted into a cycle and pedestrian path.

Thornton Viaduct near Bradford. Looks excellent, a proper bridge.

There's a coincidence... I pointed that mast out to @GuyBoden on our ride yesterday and mentioned that at one time it was the tallest structure in Europe**!




** I just read that Wikipedia article and discovered that the Emley Moor mast was second tallest, after the famous Berlin mast.

I once ate in the revolving restaurant at the top of the famous Berlin mast, from which I got a fantastic panoramic close up view of the clouds covering Berlin.

I hope you have guessed that I am wrong again, but very close.

Edit:
I'm using OS maps, looking near Worcestershire for "Dismantled Railway". Then finding a road that goes under the
"Dismantled Railway" on the OS map.

Why do you think you are wrong?

Looking at that scene from the March 2009 image rather than the September one, it looks right.

Sorry, thanks, I didn't look at the March 2009 picture.

Using old photos makes the game even more difficult.

Anyway, here's the next NTR.

Name that road.
