2014 has dawned and so the countdown to marking the 50th anniversary of the closure of the Loop has to begin in earnest... So far my research has taken me to:
Pudsey Library - http://www.leeds.gov.uk/leisure/Pages/Pudsey-library.aspx
Leeds Central Library Local and Family History Services - http://www.leeds.gov.uk/leisure/Pages/Local-and-family-history-service.aspx
The Search Engine of the National Railway Museum in York - http://www.nrm.org.uk/ResearchAndArchive/about.aspx
The National Archives in Kew - http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/
Each library and archive has produced material and the staff have been uniformly helpful and friendly.
Still to visit...
The National Union of Railwaymen archive at the University of Warwick - http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/services/library/mrc/explorefurther/images/nur/
and contact with...
the Archives of Network Rail - http://www.networkrail.co.uk/virtualarchive/
and the records of BRB (Residuary) Ltd held by the Highways Agency Historical Railways Estate - https://www.gov.uk/government/news/brb-residuary-ltd-has-been-abolished
I am also trying to make contact with the Pudsey Civic Society - http://www.pcs-online.org.uk/
Further avenues for research gratefully received... In the meantime, I will start to write up what I have found!
