Grateful to Michael Soames for discovering this photograph of unknown but fairly recent date that clearly shows a Midland Railway water tower at Giggleswick station - in Settle! So tiny little Settle had TWO water towers, only just over a mile apart. In this view Giggleswick station is a mere halt with no station buildings. Settle by-pass now runs between the station and the trees on the near horizon.
Not only that Michael has found two photographs of Giggleswick station complete with water tower and station buildings. Unfortunately they are on a secure website that cannot be copied to show you.
But watch this space. Where there's a will there's a way eh?
And here they are, colour pictures but earlier than the one above. Clearly in steam days so pre 1968:
Not at all obvious here but the station signboard bottom left bears a name ending in --eswick
