Title
L&YR Postcard - Hardcastle Crags, Hebden Bridge. - WMH00518
Description
Postcard date stamped September 1910. First in a series published by the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway using this photo promoting cheap fares to Hebden Bridge for trips to its surrounding beauty spots. The promotional message on the reverse reads:
“Hardcastle Crags, and the beautiful country in the immediate vicinity, are easily reached from Hebden Bridge Station (Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway).
Whilst the card is postmarked 1910 the photo is from some years earlier as it pre-dates construction of ‘The Chalet’ tearoom, which was to the right of the weir, and was there by at least 1904. On the right is the overflow from Gibson Mill pond and left above the weir is the retaining wall of the Upper or Lord Holme Dam.
