Ingress Uniques in Knaresborough

I need a T shirt saying that I am nor playing Pokemon Go.

This month I need to visit 300 portals that I have never visited before and today I decided to go to Knaresborough, a town I have never been to to play Ingress. As usual I took my camera and, as usual you can click on an image to see it at Flickr.

Mother Shipton’s Cave and the Dripping Well are main attractions in Knaresborough where objects hung in the dripping water soon become calcified.

However it has nice features such as the railway viaduct, above.

A market, you can see the Hog Roast stall on the left. Unfortunately they had sold out.

You can climb up the sides of the valley and look down on the river.

With some rather nice views.

In the castle grounds are three ravens.

They wear their jessies so that they don’t fly. One of them, apparently, likes to fly onto people’s heads or shoulders, which can be a bit unnerving. It then tries to steal phones or cameras.

Another view of the rail viaduct and river.

I found this rather amusing. It is just by the bowling green. It looks like members of the public can pay-to-play and get the equipment needed.

But the other side of the post is a sign saying “No Ball Games”. I wish they would make their minds up.

I didn’t take photos of them all but various buildings have windows painted.

And the wall near the theatre has a theatrical mural.

This character, the one on the left, is John Metcalf, aka Blund Jack of Knaresborough. He was a civil engineer, road builder, bridge builder, in spite of being blind.

The person next to him is from the Hog Roast stall. As you can see they had “Sold Out”. There he is eating a fish sandwich.
