| Having recently featured general views of Ingleton, we now have a look at some the pubs and shops to be found there. Starting with the Craven Heifer pub with its colourful floral display. |
 |
| It is a former 17th century coaching inn, located in Main Street. |
 |
| The Three Horseshoes, like the Craven Heifer, a Thwaites Brewery, Blackburn, pub. It is also in Main Street, Ingleton. |
 |
| In the High Street, Ingleton is The Wheatsheaf. Another former 17th century coaching inn, it was extended in the 1800's to include a Blacksmith's shop and stables, which are now used as the pub dining room. |
 |
| Pearsons of Ingleton are sadly no more, as they did make some rather tasty pasties! It closed some time last year. |
 |
| Ingleton's newsagents shop. |
 |
| Unusual name for a shop - Totsongs etcetera. |
 |
| Cornerstones was a shop that sold crystals and gem stones, but the business was fairly recently put up for sale. |
 |
| The Old Village Sweet Shop. The American flags were flying in readiness for Ingleton's annual Irish and American Country Music weekend. |
 |
| Inglesport outdoor equipment specialists and cafe. |
 |
| Bernie's Cafe and Caving Shop. I have personally never seen the attraction of going down holes in the ground, but there are many pot holes and caves to be found in the Ingleton area Not sure what the chap behind the camper van was doing! |
 |
| Ingleton Post Office. |
 |
| Whilst you are eating your fish and chips, you can also wash your clothes. It is advisable, however, not to include those you are already wearing, for fear of possibly offending the locals. |
 |
| Here's the Inglenook Fish and Chip shop. |
A treasure trove of shops for a "shop anorak" such as me, great to see.
ReplyDeleteThe name 'totsongs etcetera' came about from the owners originally having a business called 'Totsongs'. They used to produce music CDs, singing cuddly toys and singing alarm clocks which were personalised with children's names in the songs, from a list of over 8000 names. When they started selling other things aswell, totsongs and other things became totsongs etcetera. Today however this shop is now called 'Uncle Jeremy's Household' after a short story set in the Ingleborough area by Arthur Conan Doyle. It is the prototype for the Sherlock Holmes stories that followed and was written in 1885, the year that Conan Doyle married Louise Hawkins at St Oswald's in nearby Thornton in Lonsdale.
