More about this scene
Knaresborough boasts the oldest chemist's shop in England. When this picture was taken, a Mr Lawrence was the apothecary in charge, who ground his potions in a pestle and mortar. Note the pestles and mortars used for grinding up ingredients. Until 1840 some of this work was carried out by a dog that powered the giant pestle and mortar.

My husband and I spent our honeymoon at Ye Olde Feathers Hotel, sadly no longer there. It will always have a special place in my heart.
