Keighley and Worth Valley Railway, some of its stations

Keighley maintains that Victorian splendour
 
 
Tall and roomy with lots of architectural ironwork

 
Haworth now very much a rural station
as is much of the line at just short of
five miles

 
Haworth of course is the home of the Bronte sisters
and at the top of the hill you can find the very interesting
Parsonage museum where the girls wrote all their works

 
Though of course the sisters were all born in my
own home village of Thornton

 
Haworth now holds lots of charm and its main street
is preserved as a reminder of those Victorian times

 
Oxenhope was always pretty much a rural village
sitting at the head of the valley pushing into the
Pennine hills as it does, though there were some
mills

 
It is always a very pleasant place sit and rest and
contemplate the Yorkshire scenery

 
Take a cup of tea or coffee in the restaurant car

 
Vist the shop or wander round the Exhibition hall
