Scotch Corner - Izeria

Scotch Corner is a junction of the A1(M) and A66 trunk roads near Richmond in North Yorkshire, England. It has been described as "the modern gateway to Cumbria, the North East and Scotland", and is a primary destination signposted from as far away as the M6 motorway, 50 miles (80 kilometres) away. The name of the junction is derived from the fact that it is the point of divergence for traffic coming from London, the East Midlands and Yorkshire wishing to continue either to Edinburgh and eastern Scotland (along the A1(M)) or to Glasgow and western Scotland (by taking the A66).

Kneeton Hall

Kneeton Hall is a historic building in Middleton Tyas, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The house was constructed, probably in 1597, and a south wing was added in 1616. It is believed that the house originally had a private chapel, from which foundations may survive. The building was altered in the late 18th century, from which period much of the interior dates. The building later became a farmhouse. In the 20th century, the coach house was converted into a garage. The building was grade II listed in 1951, along with an attached outbuilding to the north. The farmhouse and outbuilding are built of stone with a pantile roof, shaped kneelers and stone coping. The farmhouse has two storeys and attics, a main range of five bays, a rear wing, and a cross-wing on the left. On the right of the main block are quoins, and in the centre is a doorway with a moulded architrave, a fanlight, a pulvinated frieze and a cornice, and the windows are sashes in architraves. The cross-wing contains two mullioned windows and one mullioned and transomed window, and there are more mullioned windows at the rear and in the rear wing. To the right is a lower outbuilding with two storeys, containing a coach house doorway with a quoined surround and a segmental-pointed arch, a doorway in an architrave, and shuttered openings with chamfered surrounds in the upper floor. Inside, there is an 18th-century staircase.
