Description
In 1249 Henry de Percy (1228-1272) obtained Settle's first Market Charter from King Henry III to hold a market each Tuesday. From this time Settle grew as a place for local commerce and trading.
The North Western Railway was opened in 1847 with a station at Giggleswick. Two years later the railway company constructed a new Station Road from Giggleswick to Settle. It would be another 30+ years before the Settle/Carlisle Railway was built, with the line opening to goods traffic in 1875 and to passengers the following year
The Yorkshire Dales area around Settle, the Three Peaks & Malhamdale represents one of the most rewarding areas of the country in which to live & work.
