Approaching Keighley

The locomotive is Stanier Class 5 #45212, arriving with the afternoon freight from Damems.

The house in the middle of the picture is quite old!
Other houses from the same era, built by the mill and factory owners for their employees, have been found in old pictures. All except Dundee street and this one, are gone.

Hi Steve,

Thank you so much. This street is not so bad for pictures, there is shelter under the bridge, or if you are lucky, you might get a parking spot along here! Perhaps on a nice day the stone might look a little different!!

Hi Nick

Thank you so much. I am glad you like my effort to put the freight train into a more industrial setting.. And the miserable grey weather!

You're almost in my neck of the woods Peter. Been a while since I was in Keighley catching these trains too. Well seen and brought to us here.

Cheers, Herb

Thank you so much Herb,

I must agree that it looks pretty much like any northern town would have looked, grey stonework, and plenty of rain.. Of course all the old relics are gone.. Maybe you can visit again on a nice summer day, and we'll see some nice pictures!!

My dear Peter,

Thank you for this wonderful sharing and the explanation. Dundee street is one of most beautiful at that old picture already. So I am pleased that it is there still. Unfortunately cities are changing quickly now...
You have done a beautiful background ,adding this old house!
I like the composition very much!!
A big YS!

My dear Füsun,

Thank you so much. Your old picture was a very interesting find, and between us we did a lot of historic investigations, and yes, we found the last few old houses!!
Here, on this dull miserable day, we see a freight train coming down the branch line from Hawarth, and waiting to be allowed into Keighley station.
Certainly a lot of nice things to be discovered in the pictures!

Love Peter

Thank you Gudrun

I am glad you like it. I am sure that if I brought a step ladder along then a few more options and angles might appear! Maybe next time!

This is a great scene Peter! One of my daughter's used to live near a railway line (not steam) not as close as this, but she loved the sound of the trains going by to their destination in Castle Cary, Somerset.

Best regards,
Rosa.
