More about this scene

This bridge over the River Aire linking Silsden and Steeton was built in 1806 at a cost of £3529; it opened up trade between Wharfedale and Airedale. Previously, travellers had to cross at Kildwick a few miles to the west, and considerably further from the burgeoning Yorkshire mill towns. Steeton was graced by two grand estates: High Hall, rebuilt in 1674, and Low Hall, dating from 1662 (now Steeton Hall Hotel and Restaurant).
