Stories from
a quieter place.

WELCOME TO BRACKENLOWE HALT

A storyworld to read,
listen to and explore.

A quiet Victorian railway halt. A woodland full of familiar faces. Connected stories about small discoveries, friendship and finding your own courage.

The coming Brackenlowe Storyworld will open the door to an immersive world of stories, places and discoveries: a place to enter and explore, with stories, activities, audiobooks and videos waiting to be discovered.

Alongside the woodland tales, the Signalman’s reminiscences will bring Hull and East Yorkshire’s history to life through journal entries, painting a vivid picture of Hull’s growth during the nineteenth century and the lives woven into it.

With new stories and more to discover as the world grows, each return will offer another path to follow. Step away from the noise of modern life and into Brackenlowe’s gentler rhythm: a place inspired by a time when life moved more slowly, where there is room to linger, listen and let a story unfold.

While the Brackenlowe Storyworld takes shape, share a little of Pip’s story below.

A STORY PREVIEW

Pip and the
Wobbly Bridge

Pip and his friend Saffron have reached Mossy Bridge. Pip has noticed something that needs saying.

Settle in for Pip and the Wobbly Bridge, with illustrations and full narration. 8 minutes 37 seconds.

Pip looked down at the ground beside the bridge.
Damp, but firm.
Good ground.
Honest ground.

He pressed both front paws into it.
In went one slow breath.
Out went the hurry.

Then Pip lifted his head.
“I think there is a wobble,” he said.

Saffron looked down at the bridge.
“A wobble?”

Pip nodded. “That board, near the middle. I think it moves a little.”

Saffron stepped back. Gently. Just enough to look properly.
“Oh,” she said. “I didn’t see it.”

“It is only small,” said Pip.
“Small things still count,” said Saffron.
