I don't normally take photographs of road signs but this

one is interesting. It stands in the village of Cowgill at the eastern end of Dentdale at a junction where the road off to the left climbs steeply up to Dent station and then across the moors to Garsdale. The reason for my interest in the sign is that it still points out Dent station despite it having been closed some ten years previously in 1970. Of course, it has subsequently reopened in 1986 as part of the wider renascence of the S & C. Notice that particular arm of the sign has been replaced by a crudely attached section grafted to the stub of the original that has a different font. Even though it shows the station as being a relatively short three-quarters of a mile away what it does not state is that in that distance the road climbs nearly five hundred feet with an average gradient of 17% (c. 1:6) with some sections being a lot steeper than that! Using Google Street View today reveals that the sign is still in place complete with its six figure gridreference on the circular topping piece.
