Embsay & Bolton Abbey Steam Railway - Bow Bridge loop

This is the limit of the preserved railway looking towards the former Embsay Junction. There is no station here so we all had to wait on board while the locomotive ran round on the loop.

Waterworks below Embsay Reservoir Dam

The Reservoir was opened by Skipton Urban District Council in 1910. The building with the chimney was the Engine House.

On Brackenley Lane in Embsay; see SE0053 : Brackenley Grange on south side of Brackenley Lane at Brackenley Crescent junction for context. This was the site of Brackenley Farm (the house in the linked photo may be the original farmhouse) so I suggest this may have been a niche for a milk churn.

Brackenley Lane Wastewater Pumping Station

There is no sign of a 'wet well', only a control cabinet above ground, so there may just be an inline pump below ground.

Embsay Diesel Gala (6)

The Embsay and Bolton Abbey Railway was holding a diesel gala over the August bank holiday, with a beer festival. Here, a shuttle train from Embsay station pauses at the far end of the line before reversing. Only seventy metres separates this point from the existing freight line into Skipton at Embsay Junction, but the contractual terms required for private railways to run trains on Network Rail lines mean it is often too expensive to have such a physical connection, meaning that any movement of locomotives or carriages to and from the railway has to be by road.

Track to Manby Castle House

See SE0052 : Embsay: Manby Castle House for the house. I'm not aware the name has any historical significance.

Skipton Road railway bridge

The line from Skipton to Threshfield was only ever single track and regular passenger workings stopped as long ago as 1930 but it is still used for occasional stone trains from Swinden quarry. Seen from a heritage train on what was once the main line, but now the preserved Embsay and Bolton Abbey Railway. To the left is some kind of utility installation (probably gas).

Chimney at Embsay Beck

From the dam at Embsay Reservoir. The chimney is at the old mill by Crown Cottage Farm. The fenced area in the foreground appears to be an underground water storage tank.
