From the 19th into the mid 20th century the link to the railway network was important to the village.  It became the main arterial for transporting coal to fuel the nation's industrial development.  Coal was the basis of the village's wealth and the mines in and around the village were its major employer.  Use was also made of the railway for commuting and pleasure.  The development of the road network, along with the railway closure programme by the Government under Beeching,  finally proved to be the railway's undoing.
