RICHMOND CHAT ROOMS
Welcome to the Richmond room’s page here is a bit of information about Richmond and the surrounding area.
Richmond is a market town on the River Swale in North Yorkshire. It is situated on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales National ark. The town of Richemont in Normandy was the origin of the towns name, it was founded in 1071 by the Breton Alan Rufus on lands granted him by William the Conqueror. Richmond Castle, completed in 1086, consisted of a keep with walls encompassing the area now known as the Market Place. The prosperity of the medieval market town and centre of the Swaledale wool industry greatly increased in the late 17th and 18th centuries with the burgeoning lead mining industry in nearby Arkengarthdale. It is from this period that the town’s Georgian architecture originates. Richmond Castle is situated in the town centre overlooking the river and is a major tourist attraction. Richmond has been used as a filming location for a significant number of TV programmes and films including ‘The Fast Show’, ‘Century Falls’, ‘Earthfasts’, ‘A Woman of Substance’, and ‘All Creatures Great and Small’. In Richmond Chat Rooms you will meet people who live in Bedale, Catterick, Colburn, Darlington, Leyburn, Reeth and Scotton amongst other places.
