Photos of the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway before Preservation

[hholdenaz]

Ok, I'm trying to look for photos of the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway BEFORE it was preserved, but had no luck. Now, you might suggest Google, but I tried that and all the pictures I could find took place in the present time, well, at least they did to me, with their color and the fact that they all showed stock used in the preservation era.

Anyway, is there a way I can find photos of the pre-preserved Keighley and Worth Valley Railway or do none survive to this day?

I don't know what material is available for the KWVR but have you tried these sites:
www.kwvr.co.uk There is an enquiry page.
the National Railway Museum has an extensive on-line photo archive at www.nrm.org.uk Old routes can be found using www.old-maps.co.uk
Good luck with your research. I hope this helps

You're probably better off looking for books than on the internet, although there will certainly be something on the internet.

Search for Great Northern Railway keighley line as it was know before 1960. It was originally a midland railway line
and then taken over by the Great northern railway.
