Eric Treacy MBE and Bishop of Wakefield was a keen photographer of English Railways and The Treacy Collection of around 12,000 photographs of his forms part of the National Railway Museum's archive.

How ironic then, but probably fitting, that he died from a heart attack on 13 May 1978 at Appleby station whilst waiting for a train hauled by the steam locomotive the Evening Star .

This photo is of the plaque at the station dedicated to his memory.
