\"WorthValleyFillingTender\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Filling the water tanks of a steam engine at the Oxenhope station of the Keighley and Worth Valley railway<\/a>.\u00a0 This branch railway, which joins the main network at Keighley, was closed in 1962, but re-opened by volunteers as one of the first heritage railways.<\/p>\n

\"WorthValleyOxenhopeStation\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ticket office at the Oxenhope terminus.<\/p>\n

\"WorthValleyBahamas\"<\/a> \"WorthValleyEngine\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The LMS Jubilee class<\/a> engine, Bahamas<\/em> in the museum sheds at Oxenhope. This engine is the object of an appeal by the \u00a0Bahamas Locomotive Society<\/a> to raise funds to restore it to running order.<\/p>\n

\"WorthValleyCarriages\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"WorthValleySheds\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Engine sheds just down the line from Oxenhope.<\/p>\n

\"WycollerFarmhouse\"<\/a> \"WycollerPackhorse\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The tiny village of Wycoller<\/a> is in a traffic free conservation area.\u00a0 The packhorse bridge is\u00a0 an obviously historic feature, but there was also a much older, but less photogenic, “clapper<\/a>” bridge just further along the beck.\u00a0 The latter crossing is thought to date from the stone age, which is quite a thought.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
