Our World Tuesday - Malton Market Town - part 2

Following on from last week, a few more photo's from the market town of Malton, North Yorkshire, UK - It has been a wet-n-windy week here, but we had a decent day last Saturday and a chance for a few more local photo's  (Click on photo's to enlarge.)
Malton Museum used to be the Town Hall,
and before that it was the town Courthouse,
the old jail is below in the cellar.

Our Town Crier, he keeps us informed
of anything new going on in town.

Last Saturday some of the stalls were missing from the market, maybe
the stall-holders are taking a well deserved holiday.

 
Another view of our Victorian gentleman, showing the
famous door knocker on Scrooge's Office, they say if
you gaze at it long enough, you may see the ghostly
face of Jacob Marley...!

The office inside Scrooge's Counting House,
there are several rooms containing Victoriana.

Meet Peter (on the left) and Al, proprietors of the Whistlestop Cafe
at Malton Train Station, you won't go hungry here with their
belly-busting breakfasts and specials.

 
A recent visitor to the site of the Roman Fort Derventio, the Romans invaded us 2000 years ago and built their fort alongside the river, they keep coming back, but they are a pretty friendly bunch these days.

 
Swinton Lawn Bowls Club, just a mile or 2 from
Malton, on our way home.  We play there too.
The man in the red and white shirt is a Swinto
member.
 
St. Peters Church is just across the River Derwent
in Norton town, this is where we go on a Sunday.
