More about this scene
This view was taken from underneath the railway bridge looking down towards the Wharfe and the next village, Middleton. Fifty years earlier, before the railway increased commercial trade to the already prosperous spa town, all these premises were private houses. Ilkley's first gas lamps were installed in 1866; to economise, they were turned off four days before and four days after a full moon.
