More about this scene
The name 'Finkle' comes from a Viking word meaning 'angle' or 'corner', and this less than straight street has not changed its line since those times. There is still a bank on the corner, but the market cross of 1790 is now located to the right of the square, after standing in the park opposite between 1968 and 1986. The railway station opened in the town in 1840, and was the first in the country. The old Toll Bridge, much resented by motorists for the delays caused by cash collection, connected the East and West Ridings, and was bought and made toll free by the council in 1992.
