Bridge on former Otley-Pool railway This was the route of the Otley & Ilkley Railway (Midland and N.E.R. Joint). The line closed in 1965 so this represents just 40 years of vegetation.

Leathley Bridge The bridge crosses the River Washburn shortly before its confluence with the Wharfe. Although vegetation obscures the river and the bridge's main span, the motorcyclist on the bridge's brow establishes the scale of the bridge. It is therefore surprising that the modest River Washburn supports such an enormous series of reservoirs on its way to this point.
