    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.
  • A Walk Around St. Leonard's Parish Boundary, Penwortham

    A Walk Around St. Leonard's Parish Boundary, Penwortham

    A Walk around St. Leonard’s Parish Boundary, Penwortham. Background. Penwortham is one of the ancient parishes of Lancashire. Until the 17th century it comprised of the townships of Longton, Howick, Penwortham, Farington and Hutton. In the early medieval period it also comprised of Brindle. The earliest written record of a church at Penwortham dates from the 1140’s. Map courtesy of Alan Crosby from his book “Penwortham in the past” Middleforth the township (which acquired it’s name from the middle ford on the River Ribble) was gradually growing in the early first part of the 19th century and the Vicar of St. Mary’s Rev. W.E. Rawstorne decided that the time was right to build a chapel school. Middleforth Chapel School opened in 1861 in the village, situated on the corner of Leyland Road and Marshall’s Brow. In 1901 a prefabricated iron church was built next to the school. This was in use until the present church was opened in 1970. As St. Leonard’s Church in Middleforth grew further, it was soon able to manage its own affairs and in 1959 became a conventional district but still in the Parish of St. Mary, Penwortham. Further growth took place with Penwortham becoming part of the Central Lancashire New Town. It was therefore decided that St. Leonard’s could stand alone from St. Mary’s and a new benefice of the Parish of St. Leonard, Penwortham was established on 1 April 1972 by an Order in Council dated 1 March 1972. The area concerned was taken out of the ancient parish of St.

    The West Lancashire Light Railway

    THE WEST LANCASHIRE LIGHT RAILWAY A Short Note on the Preserved Narrow Gauge Railway at Station Road, Hesketh Bank Narrow gauge railways (that is railways with a distance between the rails of less than the standard gauge of 4’ 8½’’ (1435mm)) have been used since the earliest phase of the industrial revolution in the 18th century in conjunction with mining and quarrying. Even though most countries built their main railway networks to standard gauge, narrow gauge railways continued to find a role in a wide range of applications through the 19th and 20th centuries and throughout the world. Narrow gauge railways were used extensively for the carriage of passengers and goods on secondary lines in a number of overseas countries and to a more limited extent in the British Isles. Some of the applications that narrow gauge railways were employed in are listed below: • Manufacturing industry (such as brickworks, chemicals, tanning, electric cables, engineering workshops). • Mining (coal and other minerals). • Quarrying (stone, clay, sand and gravel). • Construction (tunnels, dams, roads). • Municipal (such as waterworks, sewage works, land reclamation). • Agriculture (such as potato growing, sugar beet, sugar cane, sisal). • Military (in depots and in supplying battlefields). • Estates (for transporting coal and other supplies and for general maintenance work) • Public passenger and goods (lines such as the Ffestiniog Railway, Ashover Railway and Lynton & Barnstaple Railway). • Leisure (either private, ‘garden’ lines or public passenger carrying lines such as seaside miniature railways and pier tramways). The use of narrow gauge railways in Britain declined with the introduction of more motorised road vehicles after World War 1and then significantly after World War 2 with the increasing costs of labour and with the modernisation of industries.
