Connections: the Railway<br />
<strong>Askern</strong>’s reputation as a spa town was boosted by the opening of a station in June<br />
1847 - on Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway’s branch line to Knottingly - which linked<br />
with the Doncaster branch. <strong>Askern</strong> became a destination in its own right as well as a<br />
stopping point on the route to the north of England. (Closed Sept 1948)<br />
