Nidderdale During The Christmas Season
Welcome to this special page on this site regarding my visits of Nidderdale. As you all know Christmas only comes ones a year, And I thought it would be nice to feature some photographs of my various visits of its most popular tourist towns and villages with displays of Christmas. The first four pictures open up this site with my winter visit of Pateley Bridge and as you may notice, With its colourful Christmas displays the place looks very sleepy as if time has stood still, Compared to the pictures of my previous visits during the Summer. My evening visit of Knaresborough on a Tuesday was timed just right. As you can see on the pictures that follow my day time visit of Pateley Bridge earlier in the week before. The pictures of Knaresborough open up with a sunset view of its historic Castle, Following a visit around The Market Place with all its colourful displays. On my walk back home to Bilton I managed to get some spectacular views of the Waterside, Which you can see in the twelve and thirteenth pictures. My visit of Harrogate in the third week, Starting from the fourteenth picture features views of some of the best parts of the town, Such as displays of the Stray area around Cold Bath Road and Montpellier Hill. Working my up towards the town centre I managed to get some views of the Cenotaph, Rounding off my visit with some pictures of the James Street shopping complex. The 21st picture as you can see is a display of Starbeck, An urban part of Harrogate situated on the outskirts of the town on the main road to Knaresborough. Starbeck is a mixture of bit of old and new and has over about the last six decades seen a lot of changes, such as constant housing and industrial development. The old Spa Baths to this day are still in use, But are constantly under fret of closure due to funds to keep the place maintained, A sorry state of today's old Victorian buildings of Harrogate. I also managed to pay a visit to Ripon on the Friday, A week before Christmas Eve. Starting from the 22nd picture is a view of Kirkgate, then touring my way around this historic City I managed to get a glimpse of the Cathedral with a colourful view of Kirkgate. I then worked my way up towards the market place and got some more colourful displays of the town, Before catching the bus home. The following Tuesday, The shortest day of the year in the week up to Christmas, I managed to visit Ripley, A model historic village situated about 4 miles North of Harrogate on the A61 road towards Ripon.
