With this picture of the Old School House, Countersett, I have to say a another farewell to Jorvik Daily Photo. My photo posting interests have had to switch to our Facebook page, Smalltalk Language Services which is featured on the right under the <i>You might be interested </i>rubric. </div>

If you have time to call in to that page, please "like" it, and enjoy browsing the photos of picturesque places to visit within relatively easy reach of York. </div>

About 30 minutes from Knaresborough is Brimham Rocks. Many of the formations have names, and I think this one is The Anvil.</div>

Knaresborough was taken by the Roundheads, as the Parliamentarians were known, in 1646 and the castle destroyed in 1648, most of the stone being used to build town centre houses.</div>
