More pictures - Yorkshire

Postby Andere Richtingen » Mon Jun 01, 2015 6:37 pm

I love the internet - you can bore people rigid with your holiday pictures without having to invite them round first! After the Isle of Man, we turned left at Liverpool instead of right and ended up in North Yorkshire. As always, there were steam trains involved ... this was taken at Oxenhope station on the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway.

The village of Haworth, one of the stations along the line, was having a 1940s carnival weekend to mark the anniversary of VE day and the railway joined in with a couple of WW2 locos in service, bunting everywhere and costumed re-enactors mingling with the tourists.

Another scenic bit of Yorkshire, taken from the train:

This is the Embsay to Bolton Abbey railway, just outside Skipton. A former Coal Board saddle tank loco waits to be called on to its train:

Here it is, waiting with the lunch-time train at Bolton Abbey:

This lovely little building is Bolton Abbey station, restored and rebuilt to its original 1888 appearance by the Embsay & Bolton Abbey Railway Trust and officially re-opened 110 years on, in 1998:

Some big-sky scenery - sunlight and shade over the Pennines near Skipton:

A quiet corner of Gargrave, the pretty village where we stayed during our visit to Yorkshire:

Bridge over the river Aire at Gargrave - looks as if it was designed for an altogether bigger river!

Thanks for posting such lovely pictures Andere.

I particularly like the last two and think the bridge quite unusual in its stonework; really nice and different.
If at first you don't succeed, sky diving isn't for you!

Thanks, Monika.
I think the bridge is unusual in such a small and quiet place. It somehow makes me think of big-city bridges - Rome, Amsterdam or Paris perhaps. The lamp standards in particular give it a Parisian air.
