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.
