Ingrow West

The suffix 'West' is because at one time there was
and Ingrow East which was the penultimate station
before Keighley on the Great Northern Railways line
from Halifax and Bradford via Queensbury.
 
 
Derby 4f simmers at Ingrow West


 
Ingrow East GNR lay at the top of this bank, now a builders yard.
The lines then ran parallel but with a much higher gradient for the
GNR down to Great Northern Junction where the GNR line split.
One branch joined the Midland Worth Valley line to run into Keighley
The other continued with a steep down grade to run beneath the MR line
and into the Great Northern's own good yard.
