More about this scene
Just south of Middlesmoor is Lofthouse, the northernmost point of the old Nidd Valley municipal railway. This was not only a freight line for the reservoirs, but also a passenger railway between Pateley Bridge and Lofthouse from 1901 to 1929. Once Scar House reservoir was completed, the line was dismantled - to the dismay of many railway fans. The fountain (foreground) extols the benefits of drinking plenty of water: 'a pint three times a day is the surest way to keep the doctor away.'
