THE MIDDLETON RAILWAY ALWAYS A LEADER

摘要

THE Middleton Railway, as with so many other early waggonways and railroads that survived the ravages of time, does not today sit on its original formation. In 1755, when the line was conceived, it had opened on a route in the Rothwell area of Leeds. Having discovered quickly the traffic of coal, transported to nascent industries and the homeowners of Leeds, would be better served by a route through the area known today as Hunslet, the waggonway was rebuilt.
