Living and working on the canals was hard work at the best of times but especially during the winter. This seasonal image of an ice-bound canal vessel, was one of two coal boats operated by the Silsden Cooperative Society Ltd. The Leeds Liverpool Canal runs through the town.

This easy walk from Silsden in #WestYorkshire provided some perhaps unexpectedly superb views. It crosses Kildwick and Farnhill moors to Farnhill and Kildwick itself then returns to Silsden along the canal. Route details at www.happyhiker.co.uk/MyWalks/West...
