Title
Reservoir Railway, Blake Dean, Nr. Hardcastle Crags, Hebden Bridge - WMH00726
Description
Undated postcard. One of the 15 engines used during the construction of the reservoirs at Walshaw Dean for Halifax Corporation. Work started in 1901. As well as transporting supplies and materials the railway was also used to transport the navvies from their ‘Dawson City’ shanty town near Heptonstall to the construction sites. The rails were lifted in about 1907 but the trackbed can still be made out in places.
