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 believe that in the history of art and of thought there has always been at every living moment of culture a “will to renewal.” This is not the prerogative of the last decade only. All history is nothing but a succession of “crises”Mof rupture, repudiation and resistance.... When there is no “crisis,” there is stagnation, petrification and death. All thought, all art is aggressive.
    Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)

    I assure you that in our next class we will concern ourselves solely with the history of Egypt, and not with the more lurid and non-curricular subject of living mummies.
    Griffin Jay, and Reginald LeBorg. Prof. Norman (Frank Reicher)

    My good friends, this is the second time in our history that there has come back from Germany to Downing Street peace with honour. I believe it is peace for our time. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts. And now I recommend you to go home and sleep quietly in your beds.
    Neville Chamberlain (1869–1940)
