Keighley

Train approaching Ingrow West Seen from the northern end of the platform at Ingrow West Station, the final steam-hauled service of the day arrives from Keighley. It is pulled by locomotive No. 45212, an LMS 'Black 5' dating from 1935. Although it is owned by, and based at, the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway, this engine has another part-time job, often operating on the West Highland Line in Scotland, pulling the 'Jacobite' train, beloved of Harry Potter fans. It was due to return there after undergoing regular maintenance in Yorkshire.

Keighley is a civil parish located in the metropolitan borough of Bradford, in the county of West Yorkshire, England. It lies at the confluence of the River Worth and River Aire, nestled in the Aire Valley, with the picturesque Pennine hills to the west.

With a population of around 56,000, Keighley is a bustling town that thrived during the Industrial Revolution as a center of textile manufacturing. It boasts a rich industrial heritage, evident in the numerous mills and factories that still stand today. Keighley's textile industry began to decline in the mid-20th century, but the town has successfully diversified its economy and is now home to a wide range of businesses, including engineering, manufacturing, and retail.

The town center is a vibrant hub, with a mix of modern shops, traditional market stalls, and historic buildings. Keighley is also known for its cultural attractions, including the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway, a heritage steam railway that runs through the stunning countryside of the Worth Valley. The Brontë Parsonage Museum in nearby Haworth attracts literary enthusiasts interested in the famous Brontë sisters, who lived and wrote in the area.

Keighley is blessed with beautiful natural surroundings, making it an appealing destination for outdoor enthusiasts. The nearby Yorkshire Dales National Park offers stunning landscapes, picturesque villages, and opportunities for hiking, cycling, and wildlife spotting.

Overall, Keighley is a vibrant town with a rich history, thriving industries, and stunning natural beauty, making it an attractive place to live, work, and visit.

Museum mannequins, Ingrow West Inside a compartment of one of the restored railway carriages in the Museum of Rail Travel, operated by the Vintage Carriages Trust. I'm not sure of the exact nature of the tableau re-created here, but it may not be altogether savoury, judging by the deportment of the protagonists.
