View of various engine parts at Middleton Railway in Moor Road. One of these parts, third from the left, has the nameplate 'Sir Berkeley'. This engine is currently undergoing restoration in a partnership between owners, the Vintage Carriages Trust, Middleton Railway, and the Heritage Lottery Fund who have awarded a grant of ?50,000. Sir Berkeley was built in December 1890 by Manning, Wardle & Company of Boyne Engine Works in Jack Lane. It worked at Logan & Hemingway until the 1930s when it transferred to Cranford Ironstone Quarries until 1957, then Byfield Quarries, before being sold in 1964 and restored at Keighley & Worth Valley Railway. Sir Berkeley starred in both the T.V. and film version of the Railway Children, a novel by E. Nesbit. Jenny Agutter, Dinah Sheridan, Bernard Cribbins and Sally Thomsett also starred in the 1970 film by Lionel Jeffries. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Middleton Railway Moor Road | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
