This niche on Main Street contains this stone, erected to celebrate Queen Victoria's jubilee in 1887. Ingleton is a village in North Yorkshire, located at the confluence of the River Doe and the River Twiss which combine to become the River Greta. The village is some 15 miles northeast of Lancaster and some 22 miles northwest of Skipton. First settled in the Iron Age by the Brigantes, the village thrived on coal mining and limestone quarrying. Tourism, mostly from hiking and caving, accounts for most of the economic activity of the village now.
