More about this scene

When the railway arrived in the village, life changed overnight. Victorian visitors came to look at old rural England - so different to their world in the overcrowded working cities of the West Riding. They came to see the spectacular falls, which powered the massive mill in the valley. Afterwards they could stay at the Yoredale Guest House (right) and buy provisions in Watson's Grocery next door - now specialising in Wensleydale cheese. At the end of the row, Cherry Tree Farm House still stands.
