Mouthwatering trivia . . .
To the south of Horton station on the down side of the line were the sidings to "Delaney's Works" which later became part of "Settle Limes Ltd" and now known as Horton Quarry. Owned today by Hanson and unfortunately for the environment, everything goes out by road. |
Local tittle-tattle ...
Horton lies on the Pennine Way and is the starting point for many walkers and ramblers for the ascent of Penyghent. The village church of St.Oswald dates back to Norman times and the surrounding area is well known for its caves and potholes. It has two pubs: The Crown Hotel and The Golden Lion |
