Work begins to convert the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway water tower into a visitor centre.
Work has begun to create a visitor centre at a West Yorkshire heritage rail line made famous by the film The Railway Children.
Bradford Council said Keighley station's water tower would be converted into a visitor centre. The 30-gallon tank on top is still used to provide water to steam locomotives. The interior of the water tower will undergo refurbishment including the addition of a raised floor for step-free access from the station platform.
