Cinema converted from a temperance hall in 1912.

Built in the early 19th century, Brindley Mill in Lower Union Street, was part of the Craven Lead Works established in 1835. When the business closed in Skipton, most of the premises were demolished and houses built on the site. Brindley Mill was converted into apartments. Constructed of coursed rubble stone under a stone flag roof. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1131848 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'.

This Grade II Listed building was formerly Craven Lead Works but is now accommodation. It was probably built in the early 19th century.

The look to be relatively modern houses but built with stone facing in a traditional style.

Looking along the towpath of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal as it flows through the southern part of Skipton. This part of the canal is lined with warehouses and industrial buildings which were probably once served by boats using the canal.

Seen from the Keighley Road bridge, the Leeds and Liverpool canal bends south as it heads towards Leeds. The inevitable modern canalside dwellings are visible in the middle distance.

Although water levels in the canal are very low this year as a result of drought, there is plenty of depth to moor alongside the old wharf here.

The bridge takes Keighley Road over the canal
