Items related to Halifax and the Calder Valley: No. 11 (Railway Memories)
This work takes us back to a time when the railways of Calderdale (West Yorkshire) carried top link express trains, Saturday excursions packed with holidaymakers bound for Blackpool and the east coast, and a seemingly endless procession of freight trains; when Heckmondwike, Cleckheaton, Ripponden, Queensbury and Dewsbury's market place were all served by the railway network, and when Mytholmroyd, Sowerby Bridge and Mirfield were important railway centres. The first chapter sets the scene by outlining the development and decline of Calderdale's railways, as well as the passenger and freight services operating over its tracks.

Review:
"good value, highly recommended.." British Railway Modelling"will transport you back into the days when top link expresses travelled the lines and Heckmondwike, Cleckheaton, Brighouse and Ripponden all had a place on the rail network... shows Halifax when it had its High Level line, when trains left Halifax for Bradford and Keighley 'over the Alps' and when Sowerby Bridge, Mytholmroyd and Mirfield were important railway centres." Halifax Evening Courier."Rail buffs will be delighted by the technical details, track layouts and just the sheer glory of the photographs recalling an era now, sadly, gone." Todmorden News & Hebden Bridge Times.
