View of the newly constructed platform at Moor Road Station, Middleton Railway. The platform has different finishes including the sand-coloured edging with a tactile, raised surface. At the station is 1369 (MSC 67) Hudswell Clarke 0-6-OT, a steam locomotive built by the company in 1921. The MSC stands for Manchester Ship Canal where it worked for many years as part of a fleet of 70. In front of the locomotive are two coaches and behind these, the new Engine House. The rear of the Engine House, seen here, is a large Display Hall, registered as a museum, which can exhibit actual locomotives for the public to view. It also includes information and artifacts about the importance of the locomotive engineering industry in Leeds. The Engine House, which is also a resource centre for schools, was developed with the aid of the Heritage Lottery Fund. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Middleton Railway Heritage Lottery Fund Moor Road Station | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
