Circa 1900: An original slide view taken by E E Slater, it shows a
section of the River Wharfe between Bolton Abbey and Barden Tower known as the
Strid.
This seemingly pretty stream is one of the most deadly stretches of
water, the whirlpool currents between the narrow rocky banks will suck the
unwary in, strong currents and underwater rocks have proved to be a death trap
many times.
