Ingrow (West) Railway Station - History

History

The station opened in 1867, along with the rest of the line, but was closed in 1961. After the station's closure, the existing station building was vandalised, and when it re-opened in 1968 was used as an unstaffed request stop. An appeal for donations raised enough money to buy the station building from Foulridge on the Skipton-Colne line, which closed in 1959 and had been built in a similar style to the other stations on the Worth Valley line. The building at Foulridge was demolished and rebuilt at Ingrow, opening in 1989.

Famous quotes containing the word history:

    “I am not a literary man.... I am a man of science, and I am interested in that branch of Anthropology which deals with the history of human speech.”
    —J.A.H. (James Augustus Henry)

    “To summarize the contentions of this paper then. Firstly, the phrase ‘the meaning of a word’ is a spurious phrase. Secondly and consequently, a re-examination is needed of phrases like the two which I discuss, ‘being a part of the meaning of’ and ‘having the same meaning.’ On these matters, dogmatists require prodding: although history indeed suggests that it may sometimes be better to let sleeping dogmatists lie.”
    —J.L. (John Langshaw)

    “The true theater of history is therefore the temperate zone.”
    —Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
