Dist:0.2km<br/>The back of Bolling Road still looks very substantial in upmarket Ben Rhydding, an Ilkley suburb. Stone houses above the shops and a dash of mock Tudor add a touch of class to this area.

A temporary station was opened to serve this in 1866 and more permanent buildings were constructed by the hydro's proprietors in 1871, passing into the ownership of the North Eastern Railway in 1885. The original name of the local settlement was Wheatley but the new name has survived the demolition of the hydro in 1950.
