Bull-Ring
Market Place
Thirsk

The 'Ring' can be made out

It doesn't state if this is the original ring, or a replica, of the tethering point for 'Bull-Baiting'?
A sign states it took place here, & the area is marked by a ring of stones

Presumably a replica, goiing by the dates here; https://www.visitthirsk.org.uk/pages/history.php
1754 = bull-baiting out-lawed
1839 = bull-ring removed

Out of interest (maybe to someone?), this is the interior, from our friend wedding (March 2008)

It was, apparantly used as the local Court-room/'lock'-up'

We stayed here, overnight; https://newburghhouse.com/

How did the card shop get away with erecting that awful sign.

How did the card shop get away with erecting that awful sign.

Can't answer that, I'm afraid


It's like every time I go into Leeds (or even Pontefract), I inwardly groan at the way some buildings have been messed about with

Eg;

Pontefract
Late 16th/early 17th C

Don't knock the buildings of Pontefract. The 'messing about' has allowed some remarkable things to survive behind the later facades. For instance, behind the 19th century facade and modern ground floor shop front of 3-9 Cornmarket (right of The Malt Shovel pub) is a 17th century timber framed house, with a row of half-timbered late 16th century cottages at the rear.

I certainly know about Swales Yard, it used to be open as a pub called 'The Counting House'
I've been in it a few times, out of archaeological interest

Sadly now, its dereliction is getting worse

2005 - 2007??

2013

The rear facade is even worse!!
