Mossdale Scar by Andrew Leighton
A view of Mossdale Scar in the Yorkshire Dales At the base of this rocky outcrop the Mossdale Beck disappears into a system of caverns. The cave system beneath Mossdale Scar is notorious amongst British cavers as the location of Britains worst ever caving disaster. On 24th June 1967 ten cavers entered the system, a few hours later four the group returned to surface and left leaving the others to explore further. A few hours later one of these four returned to the cave entrance, only to find it completely submerged by the rising waters of the beck. She ran 2.5 miles across the moor to fetch help but rescue teams could not do anything until the flood waters receded. The following day the bodies of the remaining cavers were found, and with the permission of the families were buried in the caves that claimed their lives. A memorial cairn was later built on the moor above with a plaque dedicated to their memories. Nikon D40 – Sigma 10-20mm+ND 4 Grad

Thornton Force, Ingleton Waterfalls by Steve Liptrot
Thornton Force is in a really beautiful corner of the River Twiss. The drop from the force is about 20 feet and the water cascades down over 330 million year old carboniferous Great Scar limestone onto Ordovician sandstone rock some 170 million years older. Visited as part of the Ingleton Waterfalls Walk it can also be reached without paying a fee via Twistleton Scar and Ravenray Footbridge. Featured in the Yorkshire Grit group JULY 2009.

"A Smuggler's Waterfall" by Bradley Shawn Rabon
This photo is “As Is” It is not often that you find a waterfall on a beach, yet here we found one at Smuggler’s Cove, along the North Yorkshire coastline, between Scarborough and Whitby, England. The water is the Wayburn Wyke stream that falls and then makes it’s way into the sea. About 30 – 40 yards behind me was the tide rolling in onto the rocky shore. I felt that the large pebbles in the foreground made a lovely composition. This double waterfall is not huge, but it is beautiful. Thanks to Paul McGuire who suggested this wonderful place on our morning excursion. Canon EOS-1Ds Mark ll / 28-300mm IS zoom lens / f/4.5 / 0.3 seconds / ISO 100 / ND 8 filter

Shambles #1 - York by Trevor Kersley
Pentax K10D DSLR Shambles (also known as ‘The Shambles’) is a bustling centre piece of historic York. The street today is one of the UK’s most visited.The way that fifteenth century buildings lean into the middle of the cobbled street means that the roofs almost touch in the middle. Mentioned in the Domesday book (making it date over 900 years), we know Shambles to be York ’s oldest street, and Europe’s best preserved Medieval street. It really is a very special place. The word Shambles originates from the Medieval word Shamel, which meant booth or bench. It was once also referred to as Flesshammel, a word with meaning around flesh; this is because Shambles was historically a street of butchers shops and houses. Records state that in1872 there were 26 butchers on the street. The last butcher to trade on Shambles was at number 27 of the name Dewhurst. Livestock was slaughtered on Shambles also, the meat was served over what are now the shop window bottoms, and these were originally the Shamels.

Ribblehead Viaduct by Steve Liptrot
Ribblehead Viaduct is a railway viaduct across the valley of the River Ribble at Ribblehead, in North Yorkshire, northern England. / It is the longest and most famous viaduct on the Settle-Carlisle Railway, a railway line passing through some spectacular British scenery. Ribblehead railway station is located less than half a mile to the south of the viaduct. / Designed by the engineer John Sydney Crossley. The first stone was laid on 12 October 1870 and the last in 1874. It is 104 feet (32 m) high and spans 440 yards (402 m). It is made up of twenty-four arches. It is located at the foot of the mountain of Whernside. / The viaduct is curved, and so may be seen by passengers on the train. The train journey from Settle to Carlisle is short enough to allow the Yorkshire Dales holidaymaker to make a return day trip (steam-hauled, in the tourist season) including a few hours in the border town of Carlisle. / Two thousand Navvies building the viaduct established shanty towns on the moors, named the towns after victories of the Crimean War, sarcastically for posh districts of London, and Biblical names. There were smallpox epidemics and deaths from industrial accidents; meaning that the church graveyard at Chapel-le-Dale had to be extended. / The Settle & Carlisle line is one of three north-south main lines; along with the West Coast Main Line through Penrith and the East Coast Main Line via Newcastle. British Rail attempted to close the line in the 1980s, citing the reason that the viaduct was unsafe and would be expensive to repair. A partial solution was to single the line across the viaduct, preventing two trains from crossing simultaneously. The closure proposals generated tremendous protest and were eventually retracted. The viaduct, along with the rest of the line, was maintained and there are no longer any plans to close it. / The viaduct is Grade II* listed and a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
