Lofthouse, Post Office Stores And The Fountain 1950

More about this scene
Just south of Middlesmoor is Lofthouse, the northernmost point of the old Nidd Valley municipal railway. This was not only a freight line for the reservoirs, but also a passenger railway between Pateley Bridge and Lofthouse from 1901 to 1929. Once Scar House reservoir was completed, the line was dismantled - to the dismay of many railway fans. The fountain (foreground) extols the benefits of drinking plenty of water: 'a pint three times a day is the surest way to keep the doctor away.'
