For over one hundred and fifty years, since the line was first envisaged by the Midland Railway (MR) in the 1860s, the Settle-Carlisle route has captured the imagination of the travelling public, railway buffs and those with a quest for romance and adventure. The writer of Ecclesiastes in the Old Testament may have complained1 that ‘of making many books there is no end’: the same could certainly be said of the Settle-Carlisle line. Today we would want to include video recordings, DVDs and a multitude of other artistic efforts as well. Those seeking further information on what is arguably the most famous scenic line in England are spoilt for choice with regard to both the range and number of published resources. Some attempt has been made to categorise the various items available under the headings used for Sections A – M. Beginning with the primary sources, one will find that this material is generally officially archived and stored in the various Record Offices and may conveniently be inspected there. The locations of such material relating to the line are listed in Section A. Relevant published written material is listed in Section B. Bibliographic details are given for each publication tpgether with a bried synopsis and critical appraisal where the material has been examined. Prices, where stated, are the publishers’ recommended retail prices at the time of publication. It will be appreciated that many publications and items listed are, alas, out of print or no longer available, although second-hand copies do appear from time to time and are worth searching for. The prices of these vary tremendously, depending on their nature, condition and rarity, and not least the source from which copies are obtained. It has not been practicable to indicate which publications are currently either in or out of print, but with the advent of the Internet it is now very much easier to trace obscure or out-of-print copies than it used to be. Illustrations in published works are in black-and-white unless otherwise stated. Various items are included which, although they do not relate solely to it, help to provide a broader appreciation of the Settle-Carlisle route because they concern adjacent lines or associated enterprises. For example, many references are to be found to the ‘Little’ North Western Railway of the 1840s which pre-dated the Settle-Carlisle by thirty years and to the link which the Midland made with the North Eastern Railway by way of the Hawes branch. Similarly, it would seem churlish to omit all reference to the so-called ‘Waverley’ route because of its intimate relationship with the Settle-Carlisle. The adoption of a 3-star convention for the items in Section B should go some way to help identify the relevance of each source to the Settle-Carlisle line per se. The Appendices bring together a great deal of basic information about the line, providing an immediate source of reference. To the frustration of the serious researcher, it will soon be appreciated that so-called authoritative sources differ markedly in the information they communicate. Contradictory ‘factual’ information is rife and so in these Appendices an attempt has been made to present information which is as accurate and reliable as possible, usually stating the sources from which the information has been obtained or where information found in other sources differs significantly from what is listed here. Errors will undoubtedly still persist and users are urged to inform the Association of any errors or new sources which may be added to the Directory in the future. A. PRIMARY SOURCES 1. The National Archives (formerly The Public Record Office), Kew, Richmond, Surrey TW9 4DU. Tel. 020 8876 3444.

    BOROUGH COUNCIL OF WELLINGBOROUGH AGENDA ITEM 4 Development Committee 17 February 2020 Report of the Principal Planning Manager Local listing of the Roundhouse and proposed Article 4 Direction 1 Purpose of report For the committee to consider and approve the designation of the Roundhouse (or number 2 engine shed) as a locally listed building and for the committee to also approve an application for the addition of an Article 4(1) direction to the building in order to remove permitted development rights and prevent unauthorised demolition. 2 Executive summary 2.1 The Roundhouse is a railway locomotive engine shed built in 1872 by the Midland Railway. There is some concern locally that the building could be demolished and should be protected. It was not considered by English Heritage to be worthy of national listing but it is considered by the council to be worthy of local listing. 2.2 Local listing does not protect the building from demolition but is a material consideration in a planning application. 2.3 An article 4(1) direction would be required to be in place to remove the permitted development rights of the owner. In this case it would require the owner to seek planning permission for the partial or total demolition of the building. 3 Appendices Appendix 1 – Site location plan Appendix 2 – Photos of site Appendix 3 – Historic mapping Appendix 4 – Historic England report for listing Appendix 5 – Local list criteria 4 Proposed action: 4.1 The committee is invited to APPROVE that the Roundhouse is locally listed and to APPROVE that an article 4 (1) direction can be made.

  • Railways List
    A guide and list to a collection of Historic Railway Documents www.railarchive.org.uk to e mail click here December 2017 1 Since July 1971, this private collection of printed railway documents from pre grouping and pre nationalisation railway companies based in the UK; has sought to expand it‟s collection with the aim of obtaining a printed sample from each independent railway company which operated (or obtained it‟s act of parliament and started construction). There were over 1,500 such companies and to date the Rail Archive has sourced samples from over 800 of these companies. Early in 2001 the collection needed to be assessed for insurance purposes to identify a suitable premium. The premium cost was significant enough to warrant a more secure and sustainable future for the collection. In 2002 The Rail Archive was set up with the following objectives: secure an on-going future for the collection in a public institution reduce the insurance premium continue to add to the collection add a private collection of railway photographs from 1970‟s onwards provide a public access facility promote the collection ensure that the collection remains together in perpetuity where practical ensure that sufficient finances were in place to achieve to above objectives The archive is now retained by The Bodleian Library in Oxford to deliver the above objectives. This guide which gives details of paperwork in the collection and a list of railway companies from which material is wanted. The aim is to collect an item of printed paperwork from each UK railway company ever opened.
