Coal and iron making first brought railways to what is now called
South Yorkshire. The industrial towns of Sheffield, Rotherham,
Barnsley and Doncaster attracted the Victorian pioneers, who built
a myriad of often competing lines to the collieries and factories.
The carriage of people was almost an afterthought, but once there
was demonstrable demand, the passenger routes followed, linking the
growing centres of population and connecting with the major cities
in adjoining counties and further afield. Perhaps most historically
of all, the immense challenge of piercing the Pennines at Woodhead
was met with the construction of the Great Central's line from
Sheffield to Manchester, later famously electrified and then
regrettably closed. This photographic collection presents a
selection of images from across this diverse county from the 1970s
to the present day, from the dying days of the pits to the era of
the internet-enabled trains of the twenty-first century. Many of
these pictures feature infrastructure and locations that have long
since disappeared from the railway map.
