Th' History o' Haworth Railway

Th' History o' Haworth Railway - fra' th' beginnin' to th' end, wi' an ackaant o' th' oppnin' serrimony

The Author of this well-known, amusing, and celebrated pamphlet was born on the 22nd March, 1836, at a place midway between Keighley and Haworth, called Hoylus End in a simple cottage near the Whins Delf, at the terminus of the quaint old hamlet known as Hermit Hole, in the Parish of Bingley. He began early in life to write songs and uncouth rhymes, and even as a boy He wrote satires so caustic that they are remembered even to the present day. However, the Haworth Railway cropped up, and this found him ample food for his pen; and as this is the Tenth Edition of the work it is clear that it is still in popular favour.

Th faanders of it is sed to be people fra th Eastern countries, for they tuk fearful after em in Haworth ith line osoothsayers, magishuns, an istralegers; but whether they cum fra th East or th West, thay luk oud fasund enuff. Nah th city is situated in a vary romantic part o Yorkshur, an within two or three miles oth boundary mark for th next county. Sum foak sez it wur th last place at wur made, but its a mistak, for it looks oud fashund enuff to be th first at wur made. Gurt travellers sez it resembles th cities o Rome an Edinburgh, for thares a deal a up-hills afore yo can get tut top ont; but i landing yod be struck wi wonder an amazementwat wi th tall biggens, monnements, dooms, hampitheaters, and so on, for instance Church, or rather th Cathedrall, is a famous biggen, an stands majestekely oth top o th hill. It hez been sed at it wur Olever Cramwell that wur struck wi th appearance oth Church an th city, alltagether, wal he a mack a consented to have it th hed-quarters for th army an navy. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
