A steam rally in Skipton High Street. Picture from the Rowley/Ellwood Collection, NYCCC.
This smashing picture of a steam traction engine in Skipton High Street was taken at Christmas, some time in the 1970s.
You can see a Christmas tree and some market stalls and it looks to have been a nice, crisp day with no snow about.
