T is for Thirsk


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 to the author  of James Herriot; is house and surgery has now been converted into the 'World of James Herriot' interactive Museum.



Thirsk was also the birthplace of the Thomas Lord, the founder of Lords Cricket ground.

 



Well worth a visit!
