Among the tragic stories of personal loss, there have been reasons for optimism as our communities worked together to collectively respond to the pandemic and we have seen partnership working at a scale which would have been barely imaginable just over a year ago from the time of writing.

  • A Lunchtime Stroll in Leeds City Centre
    2 kilometres / 30 minutes to 1 hour. Accessibility – All this route is on pavements and avoids steps. A lunchtime stroll in Leeds City Centre There are numerous bridges and river crossings in Leeds. However, there is only one referred to affectionately as “Leeds Bridge”. This is where our walk starts. There has been some form of crossing here since the middle ages. The bridge you see today was built out of cast iron in the early 1870's. In 1888 the bridge was witness to a world first. The “Father of Cinematography”, Louis Le Prince, shot what is considered to be the world’s earliest moving pictures from the bridge. © It's No Game (cc-by-sa/2.0) Walk across Leeds Bridge and take a right along Dock Street. Dock Street began its life as a commercial entity in the 1800's. Then, during the Industrial Revolution, the canal network provided the catalyst for the city's growth. As its name suggests, boats used to dock along Dock Street. A deep dock allowed the loading and unloading of barges into warehouses. Today Dock Street still looks familiar, but the warehouses have become housing and business spaces. Converted and conserved in the 1980's. Continuing along Dock Street you will pass Centenary Bridge. This bridge was built in 1993 to celebrate 100 years since Leeds was granted city status. It also created better pedestrian access across the Aire. Dock Street c. 1930 By kind permission of Leeds Libraries, www.leodis.net Continue along Dock Street and you will come to Brewery Wharf.

  • Tales from Dalesrail
    Tales from DalesRail A great walk from Hellifield By John Barnes (& Jessica Lofthouse) DalesRail may not be operating in 2020 but that doesn’t stop us sharing our many interesting experiences about our journeys. We hope you will share your interesting stories, favourite walks, fascinating anecdotes and pictures about DalesRail. Please send them to [email protected] or Simon Clarke at [email protected]. Maps: Ordnance Survey Explorer OL41 – Forest of Bowland and Ribblesdale Ordnance Survey Explorer OL2 – Yorkshire Dales Southern & Western areas. Hellifield is the first port of call on the Leeds – Carlisle railway for the Lancashire DalesRail service. In days gone by Hellifield existed for cattle and cattle dealers as well as for trains and railway workers and is much older than a first glance would indicate. This is how Jessica Lofthouse described the countryside and places around Hellifield (edited): John Ogilby in his map shows the way to Settle as crossing a moor. No road could be less like a moor than the modern highway, but the old coach road from Town Head at Long Preston climbed to the wild heights of Hunter Bark and dropped even more steeply into Settle. It is quite the best pedestrian way. I find it irresistible. I forgot I had intended to take the train to Settle. A green grass-grown way it is, open to the flax-coloured bents and miles of heather covered fells. The Craven old way of the Romans, the invading route of Angles and Danes penetrating from the Aire Gap, the drove road of shepherds and cattle men from Scotland, the only coach road for centuries, and still used by countryfolk to avoid tolls long after the lower turnpike road was made.
