LMSR Edmondson railway ticket - Luddendenfoot to Mytholmroyd, West Yorkshire
The London Midland & Scottish Railway ran the old Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway's Calder Valley lines until nationalisation in 1947 - and this is an old Edmondson's card ticket for a 3rd class journey between Luddendenfoot station (now closed) and Mytholmroyd (still open). Interestingly it is dated (1958) some ten years after the formation of BR so obviously still using old stocks up! I like this - not just because of the ephemeral qualities - but also these have to be amongst two of my favourite Pennine place names!
Luddendenfoot station has one claim to fame - Branwell Bronte, brother to the famous Bronte Sisters, was the railway clerk at the station in 1841, soon after it opened.
