Some very nice Georgian buildings around the market place.

Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1261028 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.

Richmond's town centre post office now occupies a modest building on Finkle Street, the original purpose built post office having been converted into a pub [see NZ1701].
