Eshton Hall is a historic building in Eshton, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The country house was constructed between 1825 and 1827, for Mathew Wilson, replacing a Georgian house in the Palladian style. It was designed by George Webster, and was one of the earliest works in the Elizabethan Revival style. Webster altered and extended the building between 1835 and 1839, and the house then remained largely unchanged, the only substantial alterations being to the service wing. The house had 30 acres (12 ha) of pleasure grounds, on both sides of Eshton Beck. Eston Hall was inherited by Frances Mary Richardson Currer who held a large library. During World War I, the building housed Westlands School, then it became a private home before housing Bramcote School during World War II. In 1946, the new Eshton Hall School was set up in the building, and in 1959 it purchased the freehold from the Wilson family. The school closed in 1966, and the building was converted into a nursing home. In 2005, it was converted into 18 apartments, with work including several new staircases, and a new roof covering. The house was grade II* listed in 1954. The hall is built of stone with slate roofs. The main block has two storeys and fronts of five bays, the outer bays on the main front projecting, with a continuous coped parapet. On the front is a two-storey porch with coupled Doric antae and ornamental cresting. The windows are mullioned and transomed and contain horizontally-sliding sashes. To the right of the main block is an octagonal turret, with three stages, a scalloped crest, an ogee lead cupola, and a dated and initialled weathervane. Further to the right is a service wing with two storeys and nine bays, containing a gabled gatehouse with an oriel window and a gabled bellcote. Inside, there is a central staircase under a lantern, while the dining room, library, and drawing room all have marble fireplaces.

Sharp Haw is a hill on the southern edge of the Yorkshire Dales, located just within the National Park. Being the last outpost of the hills before the broad Aire valley, and with a sharp summit from many angles, it is prominent and easily recognisable from much of the area to the south. The hill has an elevation of 357 metres (1,171 ft).From the summit there are views over the Aire valley, to Gargrave, Skipton and the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, to the east into Wharfedale and to the north into Malhamdale. Although Ordnance Survey maps do not show a path to the summit, there is a path from the public bridleway, but this runs alongside the peak, not to the summit. It's popular with cyclists. The pastures up Sharp Haw are home to sheep and beef cows, as well as ground nesting birds. The word Haw comes from the Old English hawian, and means view.

St Andrew's Church is the parish church of Gargrave, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The church was probably originally built in the 16th century, from which period the tower survives. In 1674, the vicar demolished the large rood screen, which doubled as an organ loft. Unfortunately, the screen also played a structural role, and the action caused part of the roof to collapse, and the south aisle to become unusable. It was repaired, but the bulk of the building was later demolished and rebuilt in 1852 by Rhode Hawkins, in the Perpendicular style. It was grade II listed in 1954. The church is built of sandstone, yellowish in the tower, and red elsewhere, the aisle and tower have lead roofs, and the roofs elsewhere are in green slate. The church consists of a nave with a clerestory, north and south aisles, north and south porches, a chancel, and a west tower. The tower has diagonal buttresses, a three-light west window, above which is a niche, three-light bell openings, and an embattled parapet with eight crocketed pinnacles. Seven windows in the chancel have stained glass by Jean-Baptiste Capronnier.

Winterburn Reservoir is located near the village of Winterburn in Malhamdale, North Yorkshire, England. It was constructed between 1885 and 1893 by Leeds civil engineers Henry Rofe and Edward Filliter to help maintain levels on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal. The cost of construction was estimated at £45,000. Its capacity is 281,504,000 imperial gallons (1.27974×109 L; 338,072,000 US gal) and covers an area of 39.17 acres (15.85 ha) In order to maintain the water levels of Winterburn and Eshton Beck, there is a compensation scheme. Around 1.1×106 imperial gallons; 1.3×106 US gallons (5×106 L) of water are discharged per day. The amount of compensation water is measured in the gauge house below the reservoir and further downstream at Holme Bridge lock, Gargrave. In order to maintain the aquatic life in the reservoir, this is monitored daily, and in times of drought the water discharged into Winterburn Beck is reduced.
