Ditto... love Harrogate... something to eat and a few beverages in the winter garden first. Got to be the best walk into a pub anywhere, that flowing staircase.
Harrogate hosted the Eurovision song contest in 1982.
The country’s last, fully working Turkish Bath remains in Harrogate, dating back to the 19th Century.
When the famous crime novelist, Agatha Christe, disappeared from her home in Surrey in 1926, she was tracked down to Harrogate's Old Swan Hotel.
Mother Shipton’s cave, near Harrogate, is England’s oldest tourist attraction.
The name derives from Old Norse hǫrgr 'a heap of stones, cairn' + gata 'street'.
Parliament Street became the world's first route to be lit by water-gas.
In 2012, Harrogate had the highest concentration of drink drivers in the UK.
Harrogate is home to the British Potato conference, where the world record for eating the most mash potato in 30 seconds was achieved. (266 grams).
Charles Dickens visited Harrogate in 1858 and called it, “the queerest place with the strangest people in it, leading the oddest lives of dancing, newspaper reading and dining.”
The Viking sport of horse fighting (ie. where horses fought one another, rather than humans fighting horses), took place at Folifoot or ‘foal fight’ between Wetherby and Harrogate, and was one of the invaders’ favourite pastimes.

We're regular visitors to Harrogate, so we are.
Relaxing session in the Turkish Baths then high tea at Bettys.
We usually go every couple of months or so.
Generally park in the multistorey and nip through the covered arcade.
Extract taken from the forthcoming blockbuster Ernie's Life of Debauchery and Dirty Filth. Available at all good bookstores just in time for Christmas.

I grew up in Knaresborough and Harrogate. There is the scene of a highly embarrassing teenage moment around every corner, out that way.
Dolly the sheep was a regular visitor I heard.

Doesn't Adam Pearson live in Harrogate and the pal he borrowed the money off to buy City ? The pal owned one of Harrogate's football club's and his wife owned the other, Harrogate Railway FC.
I actually met them both at the Who concert at the KC. They asked me if I was interested in buying Hull City !, I kid you not.

It is easy to tell the difference between these sheep, the one called Dolly is in the middle, to the right, left, behind, in the next pen, the one chewing straw, all of the ones stood up, laid down, in fact every sheep except the black one right at the back and he's called TOM.
That's weird, I'm sure she was there when I posted it.
I've put her back in, and locked the door.
Missed opportunity there
They might have lent you money to buy it and we could have spent countless hours slagging you off as a terrible owner instead...

I lived in Harrogate for a little while in 2013-14. Nice town, people are a bit weird. Lived right near the big Asda and got to go to Wetherby Road a few times. Lovely little ground and a decent football team.
Pity it’s a **** Wetherspoons, but I agree it’s a lovely building
