REDCAR Tarn – or Keighley Tarn as it is more popularly known – has been a mecca for visitors for years.
People – and wildlife – have long been attracted to the moorland spot to enjoy its delights.
In days gone by, as one of our photos shows, skaters would frequent the site during winter months.
In 1929, for example, with ice inches thick, skating was possible during most of January – even after dark by the light of motor-car headlamps!
A special bus service carried passengers between the town and tarn.
