This was an attractive little corner of Knaresborough that Katharine and I found during our visit and search for the window paintings.
Green Dragon yard is believed to be named after the Green Dragon pub located here but closed in 1910. Today it has a variety of shops and other facilities – a traditional sweet shop, café, hairdressers and an art gallery, amongst others. It is just off Castlegate, and only a few minutes from the Market Place.
We haven’t completely left behind the paintings. On the left a painting of an arch and secluded courtyard has been created. It isn’t one of the original trail paintings, but it has been here since at least 2012 (it features on a 2012 photo on the Geograph website).
What a lovely place, I really must visit here. Your images and narratives are so informative that I always want to visit where you’ve been! Great shot of this nice courtyard.
Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are very much appreciated.
This shot is a little deceptive - only a few minutes earlier the place had been quite crowded. I preferred the quieter view here, displaying the variety of architecture in the courtyard.
