‘England - In Ruins but Beautiful - Taking a Photograph’ is a typical Peter Brook, portraying one of his favourite locations, the abandoned farmhouse of Raistrick Greave on Heptonstall Moor. Here, however, the setting is a warm summer’s evening with not a flake of snow in sight.
No county in England carries its past quite like North Yorkshire.
Written into every moor, every market town, every stone built village is a
sacred heritage that refuses to change.

This year marks the 150th anniversary of the Settle-Carlisle railway. The Ribblehead Viaduct is one of the most iconic pieces of Victorian railway engineering in the UK, carrying the Settle–Carlisle line across Batty Moss.

It's the 150th anniversary of the Settle-Carlisle railway, which opened for passengers in 1876. The final stone of the Ribblehead Viaduct, which was designed by John Sydney Crossley of the Midland Railway, had been laid by the end of 1874.
