North Yorkshire Living Memories
By the mid 1950s, tourism was starting to occupy a more important position in the Dales economy, alongside the traditional industries of farming and lead mining. The Lock Heather Guest House and Post Office, with its pillar-type post-box outside the front gate, was an indication of changing times.

Richmond Photographic Memories
Some women artists paint the view of Richmond from across the River Swale. In the left distance can be seen smoke rising from the gasworks beside the falls. Richmond had one of the earliest gasworks in Europe, built in 1820 to provide street lighting for the fashionable Georgian town.
