New View of the Tower

This picture was taken by Paul Jackson, former editor of The Dalesman from the steep track which rises above the High Road to Langcliffe, just after Settle's Constitution Hill.   Paul admits he was gasping for breath after the climb so indulged in a 'photo stop'.

Among the buildings on view are the dental surgery (bright blue signs), Boots the chemists (dark blue below the dentists) and the vets - low building to the right of and below the tower.   The doctors surgery is walking distance away so our health needs are catered for quite handily.  Oh, and there's a physiotherapist off to the left of the shot.

The Midland Railway's tank colour scheme certainly stands out - now as then.
