Description
The Keighley & Worth Valley Railway Through Time is a photographic history of one of Britain's most iconic railway lines. Built in 1862 and originally operated by the Midland Railway, the line was once a thriving industrial route serving various industries in the area. Over time, the line fell victim to the Beeching Act, which led to its complete closure in 1962. However, thanks to efforts to recreate the original branch line, the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway is now operational once again. This book showcases the railway's rich history and its continued presence in popular culture. With over 96 pages of photographs and information, this book provides a unique insight into the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway's past and present.
