Hartley and Ingilby's book is already opening up lots of exciting windows onto the Dales and some of the more obscure events and facts: the Settle Pig Yard Club; the Giggleswick Tarn Canoe; the Dent Fault and drumlins. Nowell's Limestone moss has come up in other research along with real ale and smelt mills.
The development of the Settle to Carlisle railway is also fascinating if a little off my designated area. I'll continue to research the Dales in general and Upper Wharfedale specifically in books and online.
