20th July 2002 Oh dear. I visited Harrogate last weekend (having moved away is why there haven't been any updates on here in a while), and it seems they're building houses (three, I'm told) on the coal drops site. They've pulled the tiles off where the coal used to slide down, and I'm unsure as to what else will be done before they're finished. When the Bilton Conservation Group put a sign up at the end I sort-of-assumed the site was safe. It seems otherwise. I'll try and get some photographs in the next few weeks.
12th March 2001 Added a picture of the northern tunnel mouth from 1992 to the Line Today images page
28th January 2001 Added new pictures of the Drewry loco to the Rolling Stock page. Thanks to Killian Ukama in Zimbabwe and Jim Stancliffe in the UK for these photographs and information on the locomotive. Sadly news that came as I was researching this is that the loco has been cut up and scrapped since these pictures were taken.
