Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1301572 Skipton is a market town in North Yorkshire, some 27 miles northwest of Leeds. On the southern edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, it is now an important tourist destination. The town expanded after the construction of Skipton Castle in the 11th century. The Leeds and Liverpool Canal runs through the town and the River Aire flows just to the southwest. The name Skipton means 'sheep-town'.

The line comes from the Swinden Quarry near Cracoe, which supplies the nation with limestone. The rusting span shows a certain neglect, for a line that carries little traffic.
