Gas-lit Haworth Station

Not so long ago a high proportion of stations in Britain were gas lit (a few, into the 1980's, were oil lit!). They've all gone from the national network now, but some preserved railways keep the tradition alive. Here is Haworth station on the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway in Yorkshire. A truly super ride in a beautiful part of the country. Alight at Haworth for the Bronte Parsonage and it's literary associations with the Bronte Sisters. Then perhaps go for a walk near 'Wuthering Heights'.
