Destination: Thornton's Arcade

Today we're featuring a lovely place to shop
in Downtown Leeds, West Yorkshire, UK:

This "destination" is brought to you (on a Thornton Thursday) by our Canadian RA-fan-buddy, Phyllis.

The picture was sent to her by her daughter Sarah, who is  attending college in England. 
She felt this was a kodak moment, knowing her mom is crazy about RA... what a sweet daughter!

Unfortunately, Sarah didn't run into any cravat-wearing cotton mill owners who look like this:

otherwise, Phyllis we all would've been on the first plane to Leeds. :)

If you know of an RA destination, please let me know!

Destination: Gisburn

I have been informed by our RA-fan-friend, June, that there is a Gisburn in Lancashire, England. She said it's a "small village which is very near the site of the Lancashire Witches and Pendle Hill." (I have no clue to where she is referring, but you British folks will know!)

She also sent this picture of Little Guy surveying his "ancestral" land.

Here is a composite of the village itself.

Thanks for the info & pictures, June!

FYI~

Did you know there is a Gisborne, New Zealand?

Sure, it was named after William Gisborne and not our Sir Guy...

but what Armitage fan wouldn't get a kick out of seeing Gisborne signs everywhere?

Here's one for the train station. All aboard!!!
