Leek & Manifold Valley Railway Part.1 & Part 2 (50-mins) (DVD)

Leek & Manifold Valley Railway Part.1 & Part 2 (50-mins) (DVD)

Ref: RC101D

Two video combined on one DVD: Part 1 - 1896 to 1904, First Plans to Opening and Part 2 - 1904 to 1934, From Grand Opening to Closure.

Part1: 1896-1904; First Plans to Grand Opening - Contemporary documents, official plans & newspaper reports are combined with photographs, commissioned illustrations & a detailed & informative commentary to recreate the excitement & controversy raised by the construction of this unique railway which was to bring colonial flavour to the banks of the rivers Hamps & Manifold.

Part 2: 1904-1934: From Opening to Closure. The Leek & Manifold Valley Light Railway ran for just over 8 miles from Waterhouse to Hulme End in North Staffordshire from 1904 to 1934. Amalgamation of the railways in 1923 brought the line under control of the London Midland and Scottish Railway. Closed in 1934, the LMS presented the trackbed to Staffordshire County Council who converted it into a path, which opened in 1937. Today's "Manifold Trail" is a very popular walk and cycleway.

Movie footage combined with photgraphs, documents and official plans bring to life the turbulent history of this unigue line which in the words of a navvy on Opening Day "starts from nowhere and finishes at the same place!".

Leek & Manifold Valley Railway Part.3 (50-mins) (DVD)

Leek & Manifold Valley Railway Part.3 (50-mins) (DVD)

Ref: RC102D

The Leek & Manifold Valley Light Railway ran for just over 8 miles from Waterhouse to Hulme End in North Staffordshire from 1904 to 1934.

The winding trackway of 2'6" gauge with its colonial style locomotives and rolling stock brought the flavour of India to the leafy valleys of the rivers Hamps and Manifold. The line provides an alternative form of transport for the isolated communities of the Staffordshire Moorlands and was popular with excusionists, but freight never reaches the high expectations of its prospectus.

This video through recorded memories, photographs, movie film and memorabilia, together with scale models built by enthusiasts brings to life the colour and the contrasts of this unique line.
