Two Water Towers at Blea Moor

Had a visit yesterday from Prof Paul Salveson - walking encyclopedia on railways, parliamentary candidate and would-be Mayor of Yorkshire, by gum.

He sent me this picture taken in 1966 from Blea Moor signal box

The stone building to the right is Blea Moor water tower, much like ours but long since demolished.  Behind and towards the end of the train is another water tower serving the down goods loop.   A reminder of how many such towers there were on the railway system towards the end of the steam era.
