Geocache Description:


Another cache along the line of the old GN line from Windhill to Bradford line.

It might look like it on the map but this is no drive by. The road is gated just past the industrial units.

During the 1860s, the Idle and Shipley Railway was opened to promote suburban travel and connected Bradford's north and south rail sytems. This was later taken up by the Great Northern Railway, which built a line looping through the villages of Eccleshill, Idle and Thackley to Shipley. The line was open to goods traffic on 4 May 1874, and to passengers on 18 January 1875. Shipley & Windhill station closed on 2nd February 1931, though goods traffic continued on the whole line until October 1964 and between Shipley and Idle until 1968.
