The apartment block next to the water tower is nearing completion externally.   The scaffolding is due to be removed next week so here is the latest:

Our summer house can be seen top left.   A very splendid looking building, stone built and with a slate roof is waiting to show its face to the world.

Meanwhile, the railway is closed this weekend for several major works to be carried out.   This is the view from Settle station's up platform looking north.   Marshfield Viaduct which crosses Kirkgate by the Victoria Hall is being strengthened and its deck waterproofed.   Necessarily this involves lifting and replacing the track.   The original Victorian waterproofing is being removed, as is the cast iron water pipe that used to bring water down the line to the water tower.
