The 19th Century inn on a prominent corner site is Grade-II listed: Link . The signs above the windows advertise the products of the local Dent brewery, located a few km to the east: Link . Unfortunately, we didn't have time to sample them on our visit. Note the cobbled streets in the centre of the village and the old road sign with two routes to Ingleton; the challenging road over the fells saves 10 miles compared to the longer route.
These limestone river-bed slabs were once used by the clothmakers of Dent to cleanse their wool and knitted products. Robert Southey wrote about the 'terrible knitters of Dent', in the sense of how fearfully fast they knitted! See http://www.daelnet.co.uk/features/knitting/history4.htm
