It was a joint effort to remove snow on the tracks, as can be seen here at Blakey Junction. This railway line connected up the ironstone mines of Rosedale with the main line at Battersby, via the Ingleby incline. It was therefore a lifeline for the industry.

The Lion Inn is infamous for getting snowed under, situated on top of the North York Moors and being one of the highest pubs in England. However, one forward thinking passer-by has thought of a genius way of getting home.

The amount of work needed to access roads can be seen in this photograph, where the depth of the snow surpassed the height of the passing car in some places.

This expanse of ice on the top of Chimney Bank has been claimed as a hockey pitch by these local children. The iconic chimney rises up right next to this make-shift rink.

The depth of the snowdrifts on the moor can be seen in comparison to the lone skier pictures on top of them. Blakey Ridge stretches out into the background of the photograph, looking very beautiful but barren in the snow.

Snow fails to make the villagers of Hutton-le-Hole housebound, as a number of them can be seen walking the paths of the village in this photograph. Snow drifts and the frozen beck made our village look like a winter wonderland.

Four men work on the large snow drifts at Spaunton, battling to make a way through the village.

Villagers took to boats as their transportation of choice after heavy rain flooded the village of Brawby. The sailboat in the background of the photograph contrasts to the more make-shift example shown in the foreground.

Three lovely examples of 1960s cars can be seen wedged between the snowdrifts along Blakey Ridge.

A car attempts to navigate the flooded road at Keldholme, as locals watch on from the sides. Children can be seen paddling up to their knees in the flood water.

Becketts Bank and the Black Swan pub can be seen on either side of a snowy Kirkbymoorside marketplace.

Buses can be seen still attempting to complete their routes in this wet September in Sinnington.
