Albert Terrace is cobbled (and if you alight from the Leeds or Bradford to Skipton train, you will encounter these cobbles). There are also cobbles outside the entrance to Salts Mill, and on Victoria Road. Otherwise, the roads have a smooth surface. There are parked cars on the streets.

Victoria Hall has disabled access, though you may have to enquire first, as it is a side entrance. The toilets are located down a flight of stairs. There is no lift.
