Situated on a wide section of the Roman Fosse
Way, with elegant honey coloured Cotswold stone buildings
interspersed with old brick dating from the 17th and 18th
centuries lining the High Street. At one time it was an important
weaving centre and coaching town. The White Hart Hotel was
formerly a manor house in which King Charles sheltered during
the Civil War.
The Redesdale Hall, built
in 1887 in the middle of the High Street, where most weekends
there are antiques, craftwork or art exhibitions. On the other
side of the High Street is the Curfew Tower, the oldest building
in the town, which was built in the 16th century as a lock
up, and has affixed to its front wall a list of tolls charged
at markets and fairs in 1905.
This bustling town is renowned for its famous street market, held every Tuesday, in the High Street.
