One of the shoe shops I headed for - and found closed down - used to be in this glass-covered arcade: Craven Court in Skipton. It's a rather attractive area, I think. It has a good mix of cafés and shops (including clothes, gifts, cosmetics and a branch of Laura Ashley home furnishings), providing a pleasant place to browse. It looks older than it is: faux-Victorian style with all the cast-iron columns. However, I believe it was the site of a 16th century theatre and so some of the old stone walls are original.
I like those kinds of place ! Your choice of B&W makes it out of time, and we can easily feel the peace of that moment.
ReplyDeleteDon't you hate it when you find one of your favourite shops closed down..tough times I guess. Craven Court sounds like a good spot to hang for a while Jenny..looking good in B&W.
