Old milestone

On the south-east side of Bolton Road at the northern end of Silsden is this West Riding County Council stone from 1893/94. Although the pavement has been built up over the years all the legends are still visible. It is not known at which foundry the castings on this route were forged.

Old milestone

This West Riding County Council milestone set up in 1893/94 is on the east side of the A6034, Keighley Road, south of Silsden, overlooking the golf course. About 15cm of the casting which is attached to a longer backing stone is now under pavement level.

Lodge Hill Bridge

At last a proper bridge. In short supply along this canal where manually opened swing bridges are the preferred obstacle to progress.

One misty moisty morning on the towpath near Silsden

No sign of an old man clothed in leather!. More prosaically, this is the Leeds & Liverpool canal, between bridges 191A and 191 on a late November morning.
