hosts the market every Saturday. There was a Roman Fort here 2000 years ago, called Derventio, and the River Derwent that divides Malton from Norton is a reminder of that time. (Click on photo's to enlarge)

| A Victorian Gentleman standing outside the Accountants office associated with the character Scrooge from Charles Dickens book 'A Christmas Carol' Dickens was a frequent visitor to Malton, and it is believed he based Scrooge's office on this one in Chancery Lane. It is now a museum of Victoriana. |
Don't forget to pet my little black cat below,
use your mouse to scratch his head and
give him a tummy rub, then he will
talk to you.

Jackie I enjoyed very much reading about Malton and of your nice pictures.
I love markets and here in Hungary they are common. I am in Budapest just now :)
Glad you joined WWF!
What a charming town! Makes me miss England.. Love the idea that Dickens might have based Scrooge there.
Looks very charming. I love farmer markets. why don't you join "Cats on Tuesday" with little stories about your cats ? It's only once a week on Tuesdays and no special rules.
