Image shows Sir Jimmy Savile pictured on the brand new platform at Moor Road Station, Middleton Railway. Sir Jimmy had been invited for the Grand Opening Day of the new station and Engine House, held on 14th April 2007. The Engine House was carefully designed to include an educational resource centre for the use of schools and other groups, and a Heritage Museum. Middleton Railway, founded in 1758 by Charles Brandling, is the oldest continuously working railway in the world. The museum charts its history and also that of the locomotive building and railway engineering companies of Leeds. A selection of both steam and diesel locomotives are exhibited in the Engine House and there is a cafe and shop for visitors. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Middleton Railway Moor Road Station Sir Jimmy Savile | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
