Research Guides

Our aim is to make this the ‘go to’ site for Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway researchers. Here you will find details of our publications, facsimilies of original documents produced by the L&Y itself and by its senior officers as Papers to Professional Institutions or Patent documents for their latest inventions.

You will also find pdf files of original drawings and links to the L&Y collections of the National Archives, the Manchester Archives and the National Railway Museum.

Please browse through our collections and enjoy learning more about the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway.
