Last year’s festival attracted record numbers. Not only did many residents enjoy the South Pennines while leaving their cars at home but many others were attracted here from further afield. The programme for 2010 is even more diverse, featuring something for everyone – short, medium and long walks, cycle and mountain bike rides ranging from easy to challenging, several horse riding events and two walks which each last an entire weekend! Please note: walks and rides are led by experienced guides A number of themed walks are inspired by our successful from local authorities or relevant voluntary organisations Watershed Landscape programme which focuses on the within the South Pennines, to whom queries should be role our hills and reservoirs have played in the provision directed.

The Walk and Ride festival is funded through Pennine Prospects by the South Pennines LEADER programme, which supports community projects. LEADER is jointly funded by Defra and the European Union and managed by Yorkshire Forward in the Yorkshire & Humber Region. This year’s Walk & Ride Festival will see the launch of Pennine Prospects’ Walk Cycle Ride website www.walkridesouthpennines.co.uk, a new online tool to help residents and visitors enjoy the South Pennines. Pennine Prospects aims to make the LEADER–funded site a comprehensive directory of walking, cycling and riding routes in the South Pennines. The natural resources of the South Pennines – particularly its role as a water gathering ground for both industry and the growing urban populations – played a crucial role in the Industrial Revolution of the 17th and 18th centuries. As a result we have a striking network of upland reservoirs – a man–made lake district. Pennine Prospects Watershed Landscape project, grant aided by the Heritage Lottery Fund, works with partners to support related landscape restoration, access and heritage projects in the area. Many of the walks and rides in this festival programme incorporate aspects of the Watershed Landscape and the project will include the development of a network of Reservoir Trails for walkers.

    Members’ Newsletter: March 2008 TO ALL VCT MEMBERS: You are cordially invited to attend the Opening by the Mayor of Keighley of Vintage Carriages Trust’s Special Exhibition marking the 40th Anniversary of the Grand Re-Opening of the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway. On: Saturday 22nd March 2008 At: the Vintage Carriages Trust’s Museum of Rail Travel Time: 2.15 for 2.35 pm. RSVP! If you are intending to be present please contact Dave Carr (VCT Honorary Secretary) by phone on 01759 304176, by email at [email protected] or by post to Dave Carr, Vintage Carriages Trust, c/o The Railway Station, Haworth, Keighley, West Yorkshire BD22 8NJ. VCT’s tribute to the KWVR - 40 years since Re-Opening Above is your invitation to the launch of VCT’s Special Exhibition in tribute to the 40th Anniversary of the Re-Opening of the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway – the first train left Keighley at 2.35 pm on Saturday 29th June 1968. As you will remember from the last Newsletter, we applied to the Big Lottery for a grant of £5,000 to stage this tribute to the Railway and give an opportunity for local people to celebrate this achievement. Unfortunately the Big Lottery was not able to support this application. However, our Chairman (never one to be deterred by set- backs) has worked towards gathering some funds, which, although not as substantial as the hoped-for grant would have been, do ensure that the planned Exhibition will go ahead. Thanks are due to those Members who donated towards this project – obviously your contributions are still very welcome due to the absence of this grant money.

    ’S HISTORICAL COMM HIRE UNI AS TY NC STA LA TI ST ON EA BURNLEY BARRACKS S BURNLEY BARRACKS STATION Burnley Westgate station was built and opened by the East Lancashire Railway Company on the 18th September 1848. It opened as the terminus for the East Lancashire Railway Companies trains from Accrington. The engineers in charge of building the line from Accrington to Burnley and onwards to Colne were Mr J.S. Perring and Mr J.A. Donaldson. The following year with the imposing stone Burnley viaduct completed the Colne extension was opened on 1st February 1849. Burnley Westgate closed on this date and the larger Burnley Barracks Station - photo courtesy LYRS Burnley Bank Top station came into use. The area around the former Burnley Westgate station however developed quickly with housing, mills and a cavalry barracks. The demand for the station to re open was quickly acted on by the railway company and the station re opened in September 1851 with a new name, Burnley Barracks, refl ecting the close proximity of the cavalry barracks. The 1881 census fi gures show that seventy six soldiers were based at the barracks and only three of them were from Burnley so soldiers would travel from far and wide to the barracks using the station. The station was listed Burnley Barracks Station - photo courtesy LYRS as dealing with passenger trains only, goods were dealt with at Rose Grove or Burnley Bank Top the adjacent stations. The station is close to the Leeds Liverpool canal which can be used to access the new Padiham Greenway.
