have you found the donkey stone?

Sundae · 06-07-2014, 08:02 AM

Isn't that what they used for blacking stoves or something?

Griff · 06-07-2014, 09:03 AM

Sundae that was fantastic! I just worked through them this morning, I especially loved the farm show but your town is gorgeous! Such a nice place and dog friendly.

statements like that will get you burned as a heretic in Otley

I thought that was my nose...

A couple more painted windows.
The second is a bridal shop which is twinned with the florist next door (hence the doorway being blocked by plants, as they share an entrance.)

I found out that the reason every other shop has decorated windows is due to the Otley Carnival window dressing competition which happens every year.
But they still chose to participate and it's still wonderful to see.

Half the (many) pubs in Otley have a claim to fame.
Many of them are to do with how old they are.
I can't verify this as 1) I wasn't around then and 2) I haven't been in them, not even for a soft drink.

I will try to take photos of the various plaques for you

This is the Black Bull

Sundae · 06-10-2014, 02:12 PM

Market photo as promised.
Sewing machine in charity shop. I'm sure this is exactly the same model as Dad made our school uniforms on.

DanaC · 06-10-2014, 02:17 PM

Ha! Mum used to have one like that.

Sundae · 06-10-2014, 02:18 PM

My new plan for our Cellar venture!
The Black Horse pub & hotel is currently for sale.
Let's buy it. We can have a micro-brewery out back. And keep goats. And have table service American-style, with cool waitresses (with or without tattoos), And I can live above it and you can all keep me on the straight and narrow.

Cake shop tribute.

Sundae · 06-10-2014, 02:21 PM

Banks get the best buildings.
Wonder if the balconies are safe and whether they'll let the staff on them to watch the Tour?

Then we could all drop, "my place in England", into casual conversation.

Someone, somewhere always wants to walk through your shot. And if you wait, a lorry or a double decker bus will obscure it. And by then the next person is ready. Sigh.

The Old Grammar School.
I deliberately missed out the very odd statue of Thomas Chippendale looking like Uriah Heep.

The church I may go to Mass in when Mum comes up, to make her happy.
Although a sneaky part of me hopes the times clash with breakfast

xoxoxoBruce · 06-10-2014, 02:59 PM

Oh c'mon, we know you cleverly included that person for scale.

Gravdigr · 06-12-2014, 12:07 AM

£40 sounds like a steal on that sewing machine. Maybe it's not as old as I'm thinking it is.

Big Sarge · 06-12-2014, 01:59 AM

The Black Horse is actually a very feasible idea. The cost is only $38,644.14 for the business. Rent is $31,083.33 a year for the building. The hotel is rated at 3.5 stars and has 12 rooms. It has a small bar and a dining room that seats 30. The main question that remains to be answered is how close this is to the Donkey Stone. You know Ole' Johnny really loved Robert and I am sure it would be a big tourist draw.

Has me wondering if I can use my VA guaranty for an SBA in a foreign country. Also, I wonder how the Brits feel about moonshine?
