Now we have had a chance to gather our wits, we discover that an estimated 1,500 people visited the water tower over the four days - evidenced by the visitors books. There was no entry charge but we did make available a bowl for donations to the Friends of the Settle-Carlisle Line which resulted in donations of just over £1,100 * - including one donation of £50 specifically for the Settle-Carlisle Railway charitable Trust.
There were visitors from places as far afield as Germany, Holland, New York, New Zealand, Georgia USA, Australia and Giggleswick.
* Several attempts by us to count it have resulted in different figures ranging from £1,100 to £1,400. On the basis of 'stick to what you're good at' we shall lug it to the bank and let them count it!**
** Having lugged, the official tally banked at Barclay's in Settle is £1,327-52p - plus £50 to the S&C Trust = £1,377-52p
