A splendid journey through the Dales during the seasons of the year, visiting ten villages with presentation by W. R. Mitchell M.B.E. This is full of glorious views of the spectacular countryside of the Dales and travels through Ribblesdale, Wensleydale, Swaledale and Wharfedale, stopping off at villages on the way. Bill Mitchell, author of countless books about the Dales and an editor of The Dalesman magazine for many years, presents some fascinating history on each of the ten villages visited.
We also drop in on Edith Carr at Langcliffe in Ribblesdale to see her colourful garden and hear of her experiences when she lived on a farm on Malham moor. So, visit Austwick, Ingleton, Giggleswick, Malham, Thwaite, Gayle, Kettlewell, Linton, Horton in Ribblesdale, Bainbridge and Arncliffe in this beautifully filmed production. All seen in beautiful conditions, but also in the harsh white winter of 1995.

Saving of Settle Signal Box
£4.00The remarkable story of how Settle’s old 1891 signal box was moved from its location of over 100 years to nearer the station. The movement required special measures being put in place to make certain the structure was secure and steel bracing put around it. A 90-ton road crane was hired in to lift the box onto six trolleys positioned across the main Settle-Carlisle Line which was closed and in a possession for track work elsewhere along the route.
This is the photographic story of the movement in 1997 and the restoration of the signal box as seen by photographs by Roger Hardingham.
