Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Limestone grassland, Wheldale Between Fryston, the river Aire and the Castleford-York railway line is a narrow strip of grassland underlain by magnesian limestone and displaying the humps and hollows of past quarrying, where characteristic flowers such as cowslips, spotted orchids, scabious and harebells can be found depending on the season. The Domesday Book called this area 'Queldale' and says there was a church here, but no trace remains either on the ground or in later documents. The track passing between the telegraph poles is the course of a mineral railway between Fryston and Wheldale collieries, which closed in 1986 and 1988 respectively. |
