Ingrow is a village of the West Riding of Yorkshire]] which has become a suburb of Keighley. It is beside the River Worth.[1]
The name 'Ingrow' comes from Old Scandinavian which means 'corner of land in the meadow.'[2]
The suburb is located on the A629 road, a mile and a half south-west of Keighley town centre.
About the village
The Ingrow Railway Centre has two railway museums: the Museum of Rail Travel owned by Vintage Carriages Trust, and Ingrow Loco, owned by the Bahamas Locomotive Society. The museums (off South Street A629) are adjacent to Ingrow Station on the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway, a heritage railway five miles long that serves Keighley, Ingrow, Damems, Oakworth, Haworth and Oxenhope.
Between 1884 and 1955 Ingrow had a second railway station (Ingrow East), adjacent to, but 40 feet higher than the current railway station. This station was on the Great Northern route between Keighley, Halifax and Bradford Exchange.[3]
Parish church
The parish church, St John the Evangelist, is a Grade II listed building.[4] It was built in 1843 to serve the parish of Ingrow with Hainworth.[5]
