Mother Shipton, the Chapel of Our Lady of the Crag, the Dropping Well, Blind Jack, and the world famous viaduct are all here to intrigue visitor and local alike as well as anyone interested in British history generally. Knaresborough people, their history, buildings, tourist attractions, schools, work and leisure are all celebrated in 1 in pictures and in words.
