The Architecture and Infrastructure of Pontefract Railway Stations: talk
Pontefract Town Hall, 3 Bridge Street, Pontefract, West Yorkshire, WF8 1PG
Railway provision and practices associated with the mechanical steam railway of a bygone era have long since gone and in many cases all traces of this infrastructure have entirely disappeared from view. Housing estates have sprung up on former railway land where once there were sidings, goods yards and other railway buildings. Pontefract still retains its three stations but all else has long gone. This talk, by local railway historian Peter Cookson, is designed to describe in detail the changes that have taken place in Pontefract over the years, using a variety of illustrations from different periods.
