Image shows a close-up of the nineteenth century travelling crane manufactured for the Isle of Wight Railway at Kirkstall Forge in 1865. It served the railway for over 100 years before being sold back to Kirkstall Forge as an exhibit at the original cost of ?200 in 1967. The crane was restored in 1976 by J.B.Hodgson and M.B.Hodgson. The Isle of Wight Railway closed in 1966 but part of it has now re-opened as a heritage railway. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | crane Kirkstall Forge | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
