Good evening! Thank you so much to everybody for over 3,800 subscribers, we're nearing an amazing milestone, and I'm so happy to see your support on all the videos :) This evening, we take a walk around Oakworth, the village where the 1970 version of The Railway Children was filmed. Instead of some bonus info about the filming of the movie here, I'm attaching a link to a brilliant documentary by StudioCanal UK talking to residents of Oakworth and around the Worth Valley and their memories of when The Railway Children came to town! Give it a watch, it's a delight: ua-cam.com/video/Z3T2SJLpWoY/v-deo.html
Thanks for this wonderful and informative walk around Oakworth. I moved here a week ago and through watching your video I have found some lovely places to walk with my dog that I didn't know was there. 😊
Wonderful to hear! I'm sure you have some great memories from the time, and I hope this video helped to bring back some of those memories too :) Thank you so much for watching - I'm so glad you enjoyed the video!
The Railway Children, what a film. Brings back memories of sitting crossed legged on the school room floor for the last 30 minutes of the school day listening to Mrs. Robinson reading to us. Boy, did she ever have great story telling skills. Her husband owned a small sweet factory and he'd give her a large jar of mixed sweets to bring into school. She'd allow us kids to select one sweet each and once she began reading the only sound you'd hear is the occasional clack of a bullseye or pear drop against teeth or a slight slurp on a small gobstopper. This is one of the reasons I so enjoy your walks, they usually evoke a memory or two, especially if the location has an association to something we're all familiar with. The Railway Children and The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett are my two favourite storybooks from my childhood. Thanks as always.
How delightful! That kind of story almost perfectly encapsulates a quaint English childhood - and I love to hear these wonderful memories from you, it really makes me happy to hear that the videos bring back these memories from time to time :) The Railway Children is an absolutely gorgeous film that I think most of us will never forget - though I must confess I've never read the book myself! Thank you so much for watching and your wonderful comments as always - I'm so glad you enjoyed the video!
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video, and I'm especially grateful that you've subscribed to the channel! Oakworth is a delightful place to visit - easily reachable by bus from Keighley, or by a spectacular walk across the Worth Valley from Haworth. I hope you have a great time when you go there :) Thank you so much for watching and again for subscribing - it really means a lot!
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video - Oakworth is a gorgeous Yorkshire village, do have a watch of The Railway Children if you'd like to get more of a feel for what makes it so famous :)
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video - you can certainly look forward to more new videos each week on this channel, from a wide variety of fascinating and beautiful places :) Thank you so much for watching!
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you found the video an interesting watch - I'm sure you'll have a great time visiting, and the views in person over the Worth Valley are even more spectacular than what my camera can show :) Thank you so much for watching!
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! My apologies for missing out some of the oldest parts of Oakworth, it's amazing just how long the history of the village and the whole Worth Valley is, but thank you very much for bringing it to our attention :)
Classic memories! It's a wonderful film and I'm so glad that they've kept the station in such wonderful condition - seeing it in the flesh is like stepping right into the screen :)
Very much so! Without the Domesday Book a lot of my research would be made a lot more difficult, plus it's always interesting to see how places have grown so dramatically in the last 1,000 years, when most settlements were home to just a handful of people :)

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed it :)
I used to enjoy watching the live feed on UA-cam from Oakworth Station while I would read, but now it is no longer available - sad.
You can access Oakworth station live camera by going to the KWVR website
I am watching the end of the video
A very pleasant walk but you missed out some of the oldest buildings in Oakworth along Clough Lane.
These parts of Oakworth are older than Haworth.

I saw the railway children film on tv
Classic memories! It's a wonderful film and I'm so glad that they've kept the station in such wonderful condition - seeing it in the flesh is like stepping right into the screen :)
Congratulations.
R.I.P Actors & Actresses whoever were alive in the flesh back then during the time of the filming.
All of your videos are great but there is only one that I would like to say; can you use something other than a fisheye lens, please!
When are u doing Oxenhope?
I have the dvd of The Railway Children 1970.
R.I.P to the Actors & Actresses who were alive in the flesh in the film.

Had register in the Domesday book. Normans made England.
Very much so! Without the Domesday Book a lot of my research would be made a lot more difficult, plus it's always interesting to see how places have grown so dramatically in the last 1,000 years, when most settlements were home to just a handful of people :)
