Ilkley really went to town in removing all traces of the course of this route, which is understandable as the route divided the town centre to some extent. Embankments and bridges were removed and in Yewbank Terrace where it passed between the terraces the gap was filled with suitable terrace...

Garforth has an excellent Italian restaurant,. It was very strange to eat in a room which was 50 years before, the somewhat dusty parcels storage room. It was odd remembering that the last time I was in that space was when collecting a Rug, ordered from a Catalogue, from its dim interior...

have not visited myself ,however "whatpub" /Camra seem to like it. https://furness.camra.org.uk/viewnode.php?id=11300 Openning times look a little sparse.

This may be off thread? Do we start a reopening Otley thread? I am pretty sure that there are better things to spend cash on; however a reopening of the Otley line from the East rather than the West, makes some sense. Reopening through Pool in Wharfdale would involve the demolition of some...

Access to the canal is very easy just leave the Shipley Platform through the gap in the fence and follow the path into the trees. Turn left and its 300 yards or so and heads towards Leeds, turn Right and you run parallel with the canal till you reach Pollard Lane and the Abbey Inn. Being local I...
