One of the attractions in
Northern England is the Aysgarth Falls. The
Falls are not particularly high but are pleasant to see as they are surrounded
by forest and farmland. The Aysgarth Falls are a triple flight of waterfalls, carved
out by the River Ure over a one-mile stretch on its descent to mid-Wensleydale
in the Yorkshire Dales of England, near the village of Aysgarth. The Falls are
quite spectacular during wet weather, as thousands of gallons of water cascade
over the series of broad limestone steps.
This postcard shows a
reproduction of a LNER poster. LNER (London and North Eastern Railway) was the
second largest of the “Big Four” railway companies created by the Railways Act
1921 in Britain. It existed from 1 January 1923 until nationalisation on 1
January 1948.
I like this postcard
because it has two elements which are of great interest to me - it shows a stunning
waterfall and it is rail-related. This postcard was sent by Kate Taylor
(geordiebaker) Swap-bot (26 March 2014).
