The Railway Children Film
Edith Nesbit's famous story The Railway Children first appeared in serialised form in The London Magazine in 1905 and was published in book form the following year.
Although the book has remained in print, it is probably fair to say that most people remember the story thanks to the classic 1970 film directed by Lionel Jeffries and starring Bernard Cribbins and Jenny Agutter.
The Keighley and Worth Valley Railway and the surrounding towns and villages were used extensively in the 1970 film The Railway Children and several of the railway's steam locomotives also featured. The Ingrow Museum of Rail Travel is home to five of the carriages which were used in the film.
