Right:This is a picture of the old houses at the bottom of Moor Lane, this was the main road to Skipton before the new road was built early this century.  The old road followed the Roman road from Ilkley to Skipton which  went directly over the 'Moor' and down into Skipton. Now Moor lane is just the entrance to a small estate ('Moor Park')built in the sixties. The village bypass (A65) and the A59 trunk road between Skipton and Harrogate have changed the route again. Fortunately it has reduced traffic in the village considerably.

Left: This is the entrance to Addingham from the Silsden side, in front is the Craven Heifer pub. Named after a famous cow bred in the 18th century, allegedly the largest cow ever bred, there is nothing to substantiate this but it's a good name for a pub. The road follows the old turn pike road to Colne, the original road went via Addingham Moorside instead of over Cringles as it does today. The pubs in the village were constructed at about this time to service travellers, a sort of 18th century motorway services. The Craven Heifer was one of five.
