Milner Field and Titus Salt April 17, 2014 By Bingley Hub Milner Field – Walking in the Footsteps of Titus Junior? In this article our local historian Alan Cattell seeks to add to knowledge of what Milner Field and its grounds may originally have looked like when built 141 years ago. To do so his research has included articles written in the 1870’s, discussion with Roger Clarke the Saltaire historian and identification of maps, architects drawings and etchings from the time.

Scarborough- Cloughton- Hayburn Wyke
Walk to a Waterfall Yet again we started our outing by meeting up at Leeds railway station, in time to catch the twelve minutes past nine train heading east to Scarborough. The journey takes about 75 minutes. On arrival at the station we now cross the road , in order to take the Whitby bound bus to the village of Cloughton. From here we take the lane that leads you to the coastal path, this time we are heading north.

Although a fine sunny day was forecast this part of the journey was rather cool with the odd prospect of a lite shower, some 30 minutes on and the sun appeared, this brightened our spirit as we trekked towards Hayburn Wyke. On approaching the cliff tops near to this location ,we could just about make out the Waterfall as it c...
Scarborough Fair
27th February 2020. Scarborough Trip It was all aboard the 9:27 train travelling from Leeds to Scarborough , for yet another visit by some of the lads to this East Coast resort. Just a group of four left the city of Leeds, they will be Derek ,Dave , Colin and John, they are meeting up with Alan who is already in Scarborough. On this train journey the lads where able to see at first hand the drastic flood conditions that surrounded the area of the city of York and beyond. The overflowing river Ouse and the vast amount of submerged farm land stretching out as far as the eye could see, such terrible conditions out here at the moment. Similar conditions could be seen as the train traveled on towards Malton and Seamer. Their train arriving at Scarborough a few minutes later than scheduled, the time was now 11:00 am. Yet again the weather conditions have been kind to the lads, it was a fine and sunny day that greet...
