That column was paid for by the tenants of the Duke of Northumberland as thanks for a reduction in rents during the depression after the Napoleonic Wars.
The duke had raised rents during the agricultural boom during the war, but hey ho.
Visited Alnwick and the surrounding area for the first time last summer, I flippin’ loved it. Spent a fortune in the brilliant independent pet shop on the high street!
Get yourself to Barter Books, warm up by the fire and marvel at the toy train! IYKYK.
