A market charter was first granted to Haltwhistle in 1306. There is still a range of independent shops; the prominent Clive Brown's sells D-I-Y, next door Billy Bell is a fishmonger.

Army Surplus
These shops were fairly commonplace after the last war, with so much surplus equipment being available for disposal. Less so now, but this one in Haltwhistle appears to be thriving with the aid of a healthy online presence.
The reference to the 'Centre of Britain' is interesting. Tradition has it that Haltwhistle has that honour, but Ordnance Survey have it as the Whitendale Hanging Stones, near Brennand Farm, outside Dunsop Bridge, Lancashire in the Forest of Bowland. (Image). Haltwhistle is a 'centre' by another calculation, it being the midpoint of the longest north–south meridian; also approximately the midpoint of each of the lines through it across Great Britain along the 16 main compass directions.

The back of a converted bastle house
Bastles were fortified houses with very thick walls, built to withstand attack by the Border Reivers http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Border_Reivers . When troubled times passed the houses were made more comfortable, e.g. by replacing a ladder to the upper floor with steps (though in this house the steps currently lead nowhere).
The front of the building is seen here Image
