Pontefract Railways Development
Town Hall, 3 Bridge Street, Pontefract, West Yorkshire, WF8 1PG
This talk will tell the story of the development of Pontefract’s Railways from the very first public meeting in Pontefract Town Hall in September 1844 to the time of their maximum extent later in the century, but will not deal with their later demise.
The presentation will make extensive use of maps and will deal with interesting unsuccessful projects, as well as the lines eventually built.
