Ilkley, The Tarn 1923
Photo ref:
74476
More about this scene
There are two tarns on the part of the moor by Ilkley shown in 45157A, pages 68-69, both within easy walking distance of the town. The one in this photograph is both lower and larger, and more accessible. Victorian children search for tiddlers, while their elders consider their constitution. During the winter months, the tarn occasionally freezes, and this must have delighted the Victorian ice-skaters. In 74476 we are above the Tarn looking out over the Wharfe Valley. Craiglands is on the right, while on the far left Wells House can be glimpsed.
