More about this scene
As the industrialisation of weaving gathered pace, the town was eventually reached by the railway in July 1848. Within forty years a bigger station had to be built. The last train to run from the town was in October 1963, which was even before the Beeching cuts. The market opened in 1868, and the Co-op was here from 1872, complete with its own Fire Brigade.
