Oakworth railway station is on the route of the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway and was a location in the film The Railway Children.[1]
History
On folio 301v of the Domesday Book of 1086, Oakworth is called "Acurde"[2] which translated into an Oak clearing. It was taxed on c120 acres (c50 hectares) of arable ploughland shared by the Vikings Vilts and Gamel Bern.[3] Vilts also owned Newsholme and Utley; and Gamel Bern was of the family of noblemen that held the most land in Northern England. However, later, on folio 327r, the Domesday Book states of Oakworth lands that "Gamal Bern had them; Gilbert Tison has them" for in the Harrying of the North all lands were taken from Anglo-Scandinavians and given to Norman Lords.
Landmarks
Holden Park in Oakworth occupies the grounds of an historic house owned by Sir Isaac Holden, an inventor who is said to have invented the lucifer match and revolutionised the process of wool carding.[4] After Holden's death in 1897, his house, called Oakworth House, and its contents were sold at auction, and the house was all but destroyed by fire in 1907.[5] All that remains of the original building is the portico.[6]
Education
Oakworth Primary School is situated in the grounds of Sir Isaac Holden's estate, along with Holden Park. The school playground has sloping sides because it was once a lake in the ornamental gardens in front of Oakworth House.[7] The school is attended by children aged between 3 - 11. It has gone through many changes since it was first built. Its original name was 'Oakworth First School', which taught children up to the age of 9, when children would then progress to middle school. This system changed in 2000, so that Oakworth Primary School expanded to cover years 5 and 6.[8]

[ru] Окуорт
Окуорт (англ. Oakworth) — небольшая деревня близ Китли, у реки Уорт в Уэст-Йоркшире, Англия. Название деревни, вероятно, означает что первоначально на её месте была непроходимая лесная зона. Деревня является промежуточной остановкой на железнодорожной линии Китли. Станция Окуорт была задействована в съемках фильма «Дети железной дороги», снятому по одноименному роману Эдит Несбит.
