By Bull Beck Bridge is the Black Bull Inn, where a cat sits beside a boot-scraper, perhaps waiting for opening time?
Brookhouse has a plague stone at Bull Beck Bridge near the Black Bull Inn, and is proud of its proximity to Crook O' Lune, the famous beauty spot painted by Joseph Mallord Turner RA.
The Black Bull Inn became the Youth Hostel, and the Dog Inn is now the Hark to Bounty. Pack horse trains from different directions met at this point, the heart of Slaidburn in past centuries.
A horse takes a breather and feeds from its nosebag on the pavement.The cart on the left looks like a brewer's dray - in the back are barrels - and is probably delivering to the Black Bull on the right.There

The black-painted smock windmill, set back from the road, and the prominent Cricketers pub facing the local cricket pavilion, are both local landmarks.
These two views of the steep high street as it winds up the hill towards Canterbury show some of the rich assortment of buildings built of brick or black-and-white half timbering.

The Black Prince was born here.
Beyond Martin's Bank and the shops is the Black Bull Inn, which carries a date stone of 1855. A little way beyond, set back from the road, is the Brown Cow.
We are looking towards Back Lane. This is a street mainly of 16th- or 17th- century timber-framed cottages.
The old King's Arms opened in 1749, and opposite it is the Black Bull, dating back to 1758.
The black and white signpost in the foreground will bring back nostalgic memories for some of motoring as it was half a century ago.
This area dates back to the Middle Ages. This gate was manned for almost twenty- four hours, and was used to collect tolls from visitors and merchants on their way through to the town.

Looking north, the road runs close to the church whilst a back lane to Yarnacott - in the distance - climbs out of the valley.
The Black Lion was rebuilt in c1840, but stands on the site of an earlier inn of the same name, which can be traced back to c1660.
Looking back towards Boutport Street in 1903, Brook's is still a cafe. It became Bromley's Restaurant in the 1940s until it closed at the end of the 1960s.
Back in the days of Edward II, it was the principal town in the region for making fine linen. Its products were shipped to Yarmouth on barges capable of carrying several tonnes of material.
Trade at the original site was decimated in 1787 by an outbreak of Black Plague. The stocks on the left were still in use in 1870 - they were reputedly the last to be used in Yorkshire.
It also recalls the tragedy wreaked on the countryside by the Black Death and plague in the form of a graffito, '1350, wretched, fierce, violent - the dregs of the people survive to tell the tale'.
The square tower of St Mary's can be seen peeping out at the centre back of the picture.
