More to Giggle About

click to enlarge

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.
