Caroline Square, Skipton (Image: Craven Herald archive) WHATEVER was going on when this picture was taken, it certainly got people out onto the town centre streets of Skipton. It gives a fascinating view of Caroline Square, at the lower part of High Street, which was used as a bus station during the 1920s and 1930s. The buses can just be seen, almost totally engulfed by the crowds.

Given the temperatures expected this week and into the weekend Yorkshire Water is expecting water usage to increase by as much as 100 million litres of water per day, the equivalent of Hull’s daily water usage. Following a dry week, and with Yorkshire now in  drought status, reservoir levels dropped to 61.4 percent, from 62.3 percent the week before. 'Temporary usage bans' are a possibility says Yorkshire Water, if there is not significant rain fall in the coming weeks.
