A picture of the bottom of Old Station Way and up Main street, taken from  nearly the same position as the old photograph on the right

(Above) This is the Old Station Fisheries (Fish & Chip shop, left of picture), which seems to attract Old folks trips when they are returning from an outing in the dales. George Street is in the centre of the picture, with Tailor Cottage to the right, used for many years by the village tailor.

(Above) This photograph shows what the bottom of Old Station Way looked like in the 1880's. It must have been taken shortly before the railway opened in 1888 as, just to the right of centre of the photograph, the foundations of the railway bridge are under construction. This area is now the grass area on Sugar Hill.

T the Addingham railway station. The railway through Addingham, which went from Ilkley to Skipton, closed in 1969 as part of the 'Beeching Cuts'. The station was more or less where Southfield House (old peoples' flats) now stands in Mount Pleasant, off Old Station Way.

Another eating establishment is the Good Food Shop (centre of picture) that specialises in home cooked food, at the other end of George Street. This little street was re-paved by the Addingham Civic Society as their Millennium Project.

This is the Rural Community Council award won by Addingham in 1997 for being the 'Best Kept village in West Yorkshire'... a point of civic pride. It is situated on the grass area at the bottom of Old Station Way.

(Left) The view North from near the top of St Paul's Rise, the continuation of Old Station Way, with Beamsley Beacon in the distance. This is a modern housing estate built in the early 1970's. There have been a number of property developments in recent times and now, in many peoples opinion, Addingham is in danger of being overdeveloped.There is a growing resistance from villagers to any more housing for a fear of the village losing it's identity.
