Publisher's Synopsis
This area of Yorkshire's West Riding was one of the parts of Britain most affected by the Industrial Revolution and its major towns are still synonymous with manufacturing, mining and the textile industry. The area was densely populated so demand for freight and passenger railway services was immense, resulting in many lines. The network has been cut back hugely in the years since the end of steam, but the glory days are recalled in this book which features 135 period photographs. Stations included are Dewsbury, Woodkirk, Bradford Market Street, Pudsey Low Town, Holmfirth, Kippax, Delph, Halifax St Pauls, Haworth, Leeds Wellington, Ripponden, Heckmondwike, Batley, Oxenhope and many more.
