The British Rail Class 14 is a type of small diesel-hydraulic locomotive built in the mid-1960s. Twenty-six of these 0-6-0 locomotives were ordered in January 1963, to be built at British Railways Swindon Works.
The anticipated work for this class was yard shunting, trip work (between local yards) and short distance freight trains.
The order was expanded to 56 in mid-1963, before work had started on the first order.
In July 1964, the first of a class of 56 locomotives appeared from Swindon Works.
These were later designated as TOPS Class 14 by British Railways.
They are known as 'Teddy Bears' by enthusiasts, following a comment by Swindon Works' foreman George Cole who quipped "We've built the Great Bear, now we're going to build a Teddy Bear!"
In outline they resembled the Clayton Type 1 (Class 17) locomotives, having a cab which was nearly central with bonnets at each end, but with a fixed 0-6-0 wheel configuration rather than bogies as seen on all the other Type 1 classes. The locomotives were powered by a Paxman 6-cylinder Ventura 6YJXL engine producing 650 bhp (485 kW), connected to a Voith L217U hydraulic transmission and Hunslet gearbox.
The axles were connected by coupling rods and driven by a jackshaft located under the cab, between the second and third axles.
The Class 14s, like many other early types of diesel, had an extremely short life with British Railways, in this case not because of poor reliability but because many of its envisaged duties disappeared on the BR network a few years after they came into use. Most were resold for industrial use, where the vast majority had a working life of two to three times that with British Railways.
However, the industries in which they were employed, such as coal mining, declined during the 1970s and the class again became surplus to requirements.
Several have found a third lease of life on preserved lines where they are ideal for both light passenger work and the maintenance of permanent way.
Unusually, D9504 was leased in 2005 from its preservation group and found itself in revenue-earning service on the newest mainline in the UK – High Speed 1 (known as the Channel Tunnel Rail Link during construction) – mainly in marshalling and stabling the 450 metre, 22-wagon concrete-pumping train on the final stretch to St.Pancras Station.
D9524 was re-engined under the ownership of BP Grangemouth – it was later re-engined again under the ownership of the Scottish RPS who, following BR practice, gave it a number of 14 901. It now operates with a Rolls-Royce DV8TCE (640 bhp).
The last locomotive built, D9555, was the final locomotive to be built for British Rail at Swindon Works, in 1965; today the locomotive is privately owned and operates on the Dean Forest Railway, Gloucestershire, its original route.

A wander around Crigglestone's many railway relics. The Viaduct and Tunnel were part of the Midland Railway's eight-mile route from Royston Junction to Thornhill which closed in 1968. Horbury West curve formed part of a triangle and closed in 1991. The track remained in situ for the most part until 2013 when it was all lifted.
The trees may have turned, but lost most of their leaves at Crigglestone as 20308/20312 pass with the 3S14 Grimsby Town - Malton RHTT on 24.11.14.
I can't take any credit for this picture. It was taken around 1968 and shows a band of colliers and fitters on a work trip. My dad is the third from the left and my godfather, Gavin Moody the third from the right. What really springs to my attention is the fact that all these blokes worked underground and by the end of their shift they were all filthy, yet they still managed to spruce themselves up for a trip out. They are also all wearing a tie and all bar two appear to be drinking a pint of bitter.
How times have changed.

Crigglestone Wakefield. 1Z50 Leeds-Bristol TM Via Barnsley, Derby and Crewe.Pathfinder DRS Class20 Farewell.
Crigglestone All Blacks feel the full force of the Odsal Sedbergh defence as they attempt to drive away from their line during a Division Four fixture in amateur rugby league's Yorkshire League. Hosts Odsal, playing in the first half down Odsal Village Green's prodigious north-south slope, led 22-0 after 29 minutes. Torrential rain and high wind, which had eased before kick-off, then returned, affecting adversely the quality of the rugby. Three players, two from Odsal, visited the sin bin during an ill-tempered second half. Odsal ran in seven tries and kicked four conversions as they recorded a third league victory of 2019. Defeat in a third-bottom versus bottom encounter leaves Crigg without a win in any of the nine league games they have played this season.

This was the freight only line leading to Healey Mills from the Barnsley line.It was very busy with 56s on MGR trains in the 1980s. This shot is from around winter 1986
Some would say that this is a text book tackle. It probably is but there needs to be a great deal of care on behalf of the defender to ensure that the legs arn't lifted beyond the horizontal. If they are then there is a high chance of what is known as a spear tackle whereby the impact with the playing surface is made head first.
In this case the team making the tackle Dearn Valley Bulldogs, ran out comprehensive victors over Crigglestone All Blacks.

Neil is a local bloke with a kindly and humble attitude but one who does speak his mind when required. He was born in Sharlston, Wakefield and played the lions share of his time with Wakefield Trinity. His brothers Peter and Don are well known in the game with Peter becoming a successful coach after his retirement and Don, also a Great Britain international is best known for missing the conversion under the posts in the 1968 "Watersplash" final at Wembley. It is sad that Don is remembered for that incident especially given the success he had in the game.
Last night I attended a fund raising event at Crigglestone All Blacks RLFC where there were three guest speakers, Neil Fox, Ian Brooke and Chris Chester (the current Wakefield Trinity coach). All three have strong Wakefield links, with Neil and Ian both having forged their playing careers at Wakefield and are seen at almost every home game and Chris being Wakefield born and the current coach.
Last night Crigglestone under 18's picked up the Wakefield under 18's knockout trophy. My personal interest here was the involvement of my nephew Henry who is seen third from the left on the front row. He did pick up two tries in the 24-22 win, so had plenty of reason to be proud.

The Calder and Hebble Navigation, running for 21 miles from the Aire and Calder Navigation at Wakefield to Sowerby Bridge, was one of the first navigable waterways into the Pennines. It was an extension westwards of the Aire and Calder Navigation and was surveyed by John Smeaton and the later sections by James Brindley.
Work began in 1758 to make the River Calder navigable above Wakefield. The navigation to Sowerby Bridge was completed in 1770, including a short branch to Dewsbury. Sir John Ramsden's Canal, now known as the Huddersfield Broad, was opened in 1776, providing a branch to Huddersfield.
In 1804, the Rochdale Canal opened, branching off the Calder and Hebble just before its terminus in Sowerby Bridge, crossing the Pennines to link Yorkshire with Manchester.

A wander around Crigglestone's many railway relics. The Viaduct and Tunnel were part of the Midland Railway's eight-mile route from Royston Junction to Thornhill which closed in 1968. Horbury West curve formed part of a triangle and closed in 1991. The track remained in situ for the most part until 2013 when it was all lifted.
Horbury is a large village in the City of Wakefield, a metropolitan district of West Yorkshire, England and part of the West Yorkshire Urban Area. It is situated north of the River Calder about three miles (5 km) south west of Wakefield and two miles (3 km) to the south of Ossett. It includes the outlying areas of Horbury Bridge and Horbury Junction. At the 2001 census it had a population of 10,002[1] Old industries include coal and woollens but the area is now largely residential.
Horbury predates the Domesday Book of 1086. Horbury and Crigglestone, on the south side of the River Calder, were the only part of the Manor of Wakefield not described as "waste". It recorded about 40 people and four ox-drawn ploughs in 'Orberie' and 'Crigeston' combined. There were about 400 acres (1.6 km2) of land in cultivation and much woodland.[4] Horbury had a church dating from about 1106 which was a daughter church of the church in Wakefield and possibly replaced an earlier Saxon church.[5] This Norman church had a tower, nave and chancel.
The Manor of Wakefield was given by King William to the Earls Warenne in 1106 and was held by them until 1359. Sir Robert de Horbiry and Sir John de Horbiry were Stewards to the Earl de Warenne, who granted Sir John the village of Horbury and its lands for life.[6] After the death of Sir John de Horbury in 1306, it became one of the constituent 'graveships' of the Manor of Wakefield.
The oldest surviving house in the village is Horbury Hall in Church Street, built by Ralph Amyas, Deputy Steward of the Manor of Wakefield, which has been dated by dendrochronology to 1474. Other old buildings include the Tithe Barn.[7] Land in Horbury was divided into three great fields, Northfield, Southfield and Westfield, and remains of medieval ridge and furrow of strip cultivation are still visible in Carr Lodge Park.
