@Brontefan1976 @RailStoryIngrow It was lovely - Fab museums (I’m a railway nerd!) - lovely staff & volunteers. And seeing the carriages was a real treat 😊

Fan visit to @RailStoryIngrow to see the carriages used in North and South, The Railway children and many more! Two super museums and then a spur of the moment trip to Haworth on the steam train 🚂😊. Thanks to @Brontefan1976 for the tip off!

World War II was the topic for Year 6 children from St Joseph's School, Keighley, who visited us on Wednesday! Dressed in period clothing and carrying their ID cards, they participated in three workshops as well as visiting our museums and travelling on the train.

Children from Fagley Primary school visited us to complement their learning about WW2! They learnt all about rationing, strategies from allied forces, and also how the railway was involved in evacuation. They ended their day with a trip on the diesel Railbus.
