Oakworth railway station serves the village of Oakworth in the City of Bradford, West Yorkshire.
Milk churns on a hand cart and an old Midland Railway poster bring back images of a former age. The platform fencing is used to display old advertisement signs for products such as Virol. It is famous for being the station in the film The Railway Children
The Station can still be seen much as was in the period 1905-1910. It is still lit by gas lights both inside the buildings and on the platform.
