ILKLEY’S artisan past can be traced in a new self-guided walk. The Winter Heritage Walk can be found on the Ilkley Civic Society website and gives a fascinating insight into a part of the town’s history. Artisan Town Ilkley is a walk below the railway track including the Railway Town Conservation Area. The Ilkley Civic Society says: “From the 1867 land sales, land below the railway could be used for business so smaller terraced houses, lodging houses, workshops, smithies and builders’ yards were built.” The circular walk starts and ends at the Manor House - taking in a wide range of historical sites along the way.

It includes a stretch along Weston Road to the blue plaque at the Pinfold -a former pound for stray livestock. When Weston Road was built in the 1870s the old Smithy was demolished leading to the discovery of Roman remains which may have been from baths.
