The Pavilion and Stepping Stones, Hardcastle Crags, Hebden Bridg - WMH01019
Description
Undated postcard. One of four sets of stepping stones at Hardcastle Crags three of which are still useable when the river is low. The Pavilion Tearoom, about 250 metres downstream from Gibson Mill on the opposite bank of the river, was one of several refreshment facilities in and around Hardcastle Crags catering for the thousands of visitors who came at weekends and holidays from industrial towns on both sides of the Pennines. It was built early 1900s and in the early years there were swing boats behind it. It continued to serve refreshments to visitors up until the 1950s. On thid photo Gibson Mill is hidden behind the trees on the right.
The Pavilion building, long derelict, was demolished in 2014 by the National Trust who restored the stepping stones at the same time.
