From its beginnings as an Anglo-Saxon settlement, through its
development as an agricultural centre with all its related trades
and services, the market town of Otley has seen many changes. The
invention of Otley's world-famous Wharfedale printing machine
contributed to the development of Otley's printing and engineering
industry. The railway arrived in 1865, terraced houses replaced
thatched cottages and unpaved thoroughfares gave way to tarmac.
Today, such changes continue. The railway and most of the factories
have disappeared but Otley has retained its popular market town
character. The medieval bridge, the twelfth-century parish church
and the medieval Kirkgate street plan still serve the townspeople.
The selection of photographs in this book show the present
alongside the intriguing past, taking readers on a trip around the
historic streets of Otley.
