NO FORWARD CHAIN

Bridge End also has the nickname Boiled Egg Row. In theory, between 1902 and 1930, dutiful wives saw the (steam) train arrive across the way at Threshfield Station, and could time an egg to be ready just as the husband crossed the threshold.

Grassington is a market town and civil parish in the Craven district of North Yorkshire, England. The population at the 2011 Census was 1,126 and the vast majority of dwellings are located within a ¼ mile radius of the square. An abundance of pubs, restaurants, independent retailers and excellent local schools make this bustling little town an attractive place to live, and a great hub to explore the rest of The Yorkshire Dales. Centred on its small cobbled square are shops, public houses, the village museum, small cafes, restaurants and hotels. Grassington Folk Museum which is run by volanteers houses a collection which tells the story of Wharfedale. Every September since 2011, Grassington has held a 1940s themed weekend. Events include war re-enactments, dances and a variety of military and civilian vehicles on display from the period. In the winter Grassington holds the Dickensian Festival, with period costumes, Christmas activities and commercial selling. There is a bus service to the larger market town of Skipton and a local taxi service.
