I have lived in Ashton-under-Lyne for 16 years and have walked in Longdendale and travelled on trains on parts of the route of the old Sheffield, Ashton-under-Lyne and Manchester Railway. This is the first of a couple of posts about that railway company, particularly about the Woodhead Tunnel one of the earliest tunnels of significant length in the world https://rogerfarnworth.wordpress.co...l ... -railway-1 |

This is a very short reflection on how the struggles of this smaller company ultimately left the Great Central Railway with its own financial struggles! It may not be without controversy. http://rogerfarnworth.com/2019/05/04/th ... -railway-4 To keep the post itself brief, the detail is carried in Appendices. |
