Giggleswick Station c1926. Taken by H Pearson, Station Master, with a quarter plate camera. The station was demolished in 1978.'
Immediately on the far side of the water tower is a chimney, of industrial size. This may have indicated a steam driven pumping engine was in the base. The chimney has gone by the 1960s. Maybe the pump was by then electrically powered?
Another possibility is that by then a water supply pipe had been taken from the larger tank at Settle.
