Thirsk
is a market town in the Vale of York, Yorkshire. With its cobbled square, big clock and olde
worlde shops and cafes, it’s as
picturesque as they come.
Home

the 'World of James Herriot' interactive Museum.
Thirsk
was also the birthplace of the Thomas Lord, the founder of Lords Cricket

I love all the pictures, and especially the sign about the birthplace of Thomas Lord.
ReplyDeleteMy mum loves a ride out to Thirsk when she is visiting family in North Allerton. Happy memories, thanks.

I loved the James Herriot books but had forgotten where they were set. Maybe it's time to read them again?
ReplyDeleteLovely post Linda on Thirsk, thank you! What a rich history! Lovely photos too and I also did not know that this was James Herriot's birthplace.

I loved James Herriot. I know someone with the last name Thirsk, so this post jumped out at me.
