EDITORS COMMENTS
Nestled in the heart of the English countryside, this charming photograph captures the quaint beauty of Alston, Cumbria, the highest market town in England. The image, taken in the 1910s, shows the town foot or market place, where vendors would gather to sell their wares. To the right, the Blue Bell Inn, now known as the Blue Bell, stands proudly. With its distinctive blue sign and elegant facade, the inn has been a beloved landmark in Alston for generations. The town of Alston, located in the remote and picturesque Eden Valley, has long been known for its rich history and natural beauty. Surrounded by rolling hills and lush greenery, the town offers visitors a chance to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and connect with the natural world. The Blue Bell Inn, which dates back to the 17th century, has played an important role in the town's history. It was once a coaching inn, providing shelter and refreshment to weary travelers making their way through the rugged terrain of Cumbria. Today, the inn continues to be a popular destination for visitors, offering comfortable accommodations, delicious food, and a warm and welcoming atmosphere. As you gaze at this photograph, you can almost hear the sound of horses' hooves on the cobblestones and the lively chatter of market goers. The Blue Bell Inn, with its inviting blue sign, beckons you to come and explore the delights of Alston, Cumbria, where time seems to stand still and the beauty of the past is preserved for generations to come.
