View this post on Instagram Gas street lamp and a shoddy ramp outside Ingrow West station. It looks like the lamp has a lit pilot light causing part of the mantle to glow. . The ramp on the left was used to load shoddy. Shoddy was woollen fibre made from old rags ground down which could then be spun into shoddy yarn (inferior to yarn from new wool) with which shoddy cloth could be made. #shoddy #gaslamp #railway #kwvr #preservedrailway #ingrow #keighley #midlandrailway A post shared by John | Exploration and history (@merrytrek) on Oct 4, 2019 at 1:02pm PDT
