Description:
View of the electric railway and power house, Menston Asylum. The power house can be seen to the right of the print, with a tall brick tower or chimney protruding skyward. The overhead electricity lines can be clearly seen running the length of the track. The hospital railway was originally laid down to transport building materials in the mid-1880s and retained to transport goods to the hospital; it joined the Otley and Ilkley extension of the main LMSR railway east of the Beck.
