Ilkley, The Town 1900

More about this scene
A hundred years after this photograph was taken, there appears to have been little change to the overall shape of the town, for Ilkley today retains the charm of the Wharfe Valley and the splendour of Rombalds moor. This vista from Middleton clearly illustrates how the town has skilfully avoided any urban sprawl. From the Cow and Calf rocks, top left, down past the Ben Rhydding Hydro, and then along the Grove with the Spa Hydro, Ilkley must have been a breathtaking experience for turn of the century visitors, who were perhaps more used to the cramped and smoky surroundings of the industrial West Ridings.
