    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.

On the present occasion, the driver, guard, and fireman, ' all assert that the station master gave them the signal to proceed, as they pasBed the platform ; whilst the station master states positively that he gave them the signal to stop. I would beg in conclusion, to suggest for the consideration ol the two com- panies that it might tend to the safety of the traffic at this junction, if all trains were in future ordered to stop, invariably, at the Kuottingley station, a precaution which is perhap s the more necessary on account of the gradient of 1 in 150, which descends towards Knottingley from Leeds, extending to a distance of four miles from the former station.

  • Lancashire: a Chronology of Flash Flooding
    LANCASHIRE: A CHRONOLOGY OF FLASH FLOODING Introduction The past focus on the history of flooding has been mainly with respect to flooding from the overflow of rivers and with respect to the peak level that these floods have achieved. The Chronology of British Hydrological Events provides a reasonably comprehensive record of such events throughout Great Britain. Over the last 60 years the river gauging network provides a detailed record of the occurrence of river flows and peak levels and flows are summaried in HiflowsUK. However there has been recent recognition that much flooding of property occurs from surface water flooding, often far from rivers. Locally intense rainfall causes severe flooding of property and land as water concentrates and finds pathways along roads and depressions in the landscape. In addition, intense rainfall can also cause rapid rise in level and discharge in rivers causing a danger to the public even though the associated peak level is not critical. In extreme cases rapid rise in river level may be manifested as a ‘wall of water’ with near instantaneous rise in level of a metre or more. Such events are usually convective and may be accompanied by destructive hail or cause severe erosion of hillsides and agricultural land. There have been no previous compilations of historical records of such ‘flash floods’or even of more recent occurrences. It is therefore difficult to judge whether a recent event is unusual or even unique in terms of the level reached at a particular location or more broadly of regional severity. This chronology of flash floods is provided in order to enable comparisons to be made between recent and historical floods, to judge rarity and from a practical point of view to assess the adequacy of urban drainage networks.

  • Chronological List of the Railways of Lancashire, 1828-1939
    CHRONOLOGICAL LIST OF THE RAILWAYS OF LANCASHIRE, 1828-1939 BY M. D. GREVILLE In addition to previously published data, I have consulted official and Rail­ way Clearing House records, local and railway press, and Bradshaw's Manual. There is often a bewildering discrepancy in dates in railway records, especially the older ones. Every effort has been made to establish the correct dates, and when this has not been possible from contemporary references, I have shown the ones which, taking all circumstances into consideration, seem the most likely to be accurate. Closing of lines and withdrawal of passenger services are noted only up to the outbreak of war in September 1939. The closing dates given are those for the last days on which trains ran. The railways have been grouped under the following headings and subheadings: 1 LONDON, MIDLAND & SCOTTISH RAILWAY A London & North Western Railway and Components B Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway and Components C Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway and London & North Western Railway Joint Lines D Midland Railway and Components E Furness Railway and Components F Furness and Midland Joint Line G Knott End Railway 2 LONDON & NORTH EASTERN RAILWAY GREAT CENTRAL RAILWAY AND COMPONENTS 3 VARIOUS AND INTER-GROUP JOINT LINES A London & North Western Railway and Manchester, Sheffield & Lincolnshire Railway Joint Lines B Cheshire Lines Committee C Sheffield & Midland Joint Lines D Mersey Railway E Liverpool Overhead Railway 1.

  • Bamber Bridge S
    ’S HISTORICAL COMM HIRE UNI AS TY NC STA LA TI ST ON EA BAMBER BRIDGE S BAMBER BRIDGE RAILWAY STATION. Bamber Bridge Railway Station was constructed as part of the Blackburn and Preston Railway. The line was surveyed in 1843 to run between Blackburn and Farington where it would join the North Union Railway line into Preston. The act authorising the construction was passed on the 6th June 1844 and Terence Woulf Flanagan was installed as Chief Engineer. John Stephenson was awarded the contract for constructing the section of line from Houghton to Farington, which included Bamber Bridge Station. The line was inspected on 30th May 1846 and opened for passengers on 1st June 1846. The Blackburn and Preston Railway Company amalgamated with the East Lancashire Railway Company on 3rd August 1846 and it is part of this company’s building that survives today. A shorter route to Preston from Bamber Bridge was surveyed in 1846 and an act passed authorising its construction on 22nd July 1847. This line via Preston Junction Station (later named Todd Lane Junction) opened on 2nd Bamber Bridge circa 1950s - photo courtesy Lancs & Yorks Railway Society September 1850. Bamber Bridge Station is 81⁄4 miles from Blackburn and boasted facilities for passenger, freight, livestock and horseboxes. The original goods shed was adjacent to the station at the west end of the Preston platform but a larger goods shed, complete with a 10-ton crane, was later constructed lower down the yard. In 1887 the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway agreed to provide a short branch and private sidings for G.
