Richmond buildings [71]
The King's Head Hotel, Market Place, was built in the late 17th or early 18th century. Constructed of red brick with freestone dressings and rusticated stone quoins, all under a hipped stone slate roof. The central and left doorcases are modern with friezes and pediments. Listed, grade II*, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1240397 Richmond is a picturesque market town in North Yorkshire, some 13 miles northwest of Northallerton and about 11½ miles southwest of Darlington. Set on the north bank of the River Swale, the town is on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, and is marketed as the Gateway to the Dales. Richmond was founded in 1071 and the castle was completed in 1086. Tourism is important to the local economy, as is the influence of the nearby Catterick Garrison army base. A traditional market operates every Saturday in the large cobbled marketplace.

The King's Head Hotel, Richmond
An old and historic building. That door on the left does not appear in pictures before 1914. I think it was created about 1920 when Lloyds Bank was rapidly extending it's network of branches across the country. My father worked there during the summer of either 1938 or 1939. The branch closed on the outbreak of war, reciprocating with Barclays who closed their branch on Catterick Camp at the same time. I understand both had been unprofitable and the war provided a good excuse to save both men for the war effort - and money! Barclays subsequently reopened a branch at Catterick Camp in the 1970s, but it's gone again now.

View over Richmond
Richmond (Norman-French for strong hill) was founded by Alan Rufus with the resources of a vast gift of lands granted by William the Conqueror after 1071. The lands became known as the Honour of Richmond with at its hub the castle. It has been described as perhaps the most complete 11th century survival of its kind in Europe. It was planned with the wider town, partly to dominate and the keep was added in about 1160. To people at the time, the keep which is over 100 feet high would have been astonishing. The castle fell into ruin from the 15th century. In the 1850s the keep was restored. The whole is now owned by English Heritage. This view looks down from the top of the keep towards the heart of Richmond around Trinity Church which now houses The Green Howards Museum. Trinity Church Square is on its left.
