Northallerton & Richmond Market

Northallerton is a busy market town with a population of about 20,000 (including Romanby and Brompton). With its fine wide High Street, Northallerton has and still services the surrounding rural villages.

Market days are Wednesdays and Saturdays when both sides of the High Street are home to stalls selling a wide range of goods and produce from fruit and vegetables through clothes, hardware and computer and phone accessories, health food and fresh fish.

As a communication centre and market town the High Street boasted many Inns and Public Houses some of which survive today.

Despite its modest size Northallerton has the independent and national shops one would expect of the town that serves the largest county in England.

Butchers, bakers and greengrocers still thrive, servicing the town and surrounding villages. Two department stores, several supermarkets, bookshops, clothing, electrical retailers sit side by side with banks, estate agents and specialist retailers.

Dining or snacking eateries include traditional Fish and Chips, Indian, Chinese, and pizza takeaways as well as cafes, Tearooms, bistro, restaurants and of course the Pubs and coffee shops.
