Join me on my merry trek of old ruins, cinemas, railways and things that just catch my attention around Yorkshire and the UK. John.
View this post on Instagram Taking on water at Keighley. The signal box here was moved here from nearby Shipley, Bingley Junction in 1995 after its functions were taken over by a modern control box in York. Often it has its shutters down and the points are hand operated, this is the first time I remember seeing it open, I think it is only in the last couple of years it has been operational. Funnily enough another signal box on the other side of the station bridge which was no longer used has been dismantled and was heading over the Pennines to Irlam Station to be rebuilt there as part of their 1920s era recreation (I note some locals there aren't too happy about the loss of a few car parking spaces) #kwvr #keighley #signalbox #steamtrain #railway #preservedrailway #keighleyandworthvalleyrailway #shipley #midlandrailway #tankengine #britishrailways A post shared by John | Exploration and history (@merrytrek) on Aug 16, 2019 at 12:58am PDT
