点评:The Richmond town centre is quite compact and the circle of commercial premises that surround the market square represent a high proportion of those commercial premises available within the town boundaries. It was Market Day so there was added interest. There are also a couple of quaint narrow and pleasant pedestrianised roads leading off the centre which we strolled along and really enjoyed. We chose a café for a quick coffee, and returned there for a sandwich later on.
We then had a couple of hours before we took lunch and we decided to check-out the restaurant that we had booked for dinner that evening and in doing-so we spotted the signs for this attraction. We decided to find out more and we were sufficiently impressed by what we were told by the staff to pay the £6 concessionary entrance fee (each) to have a good look around.
The museum was far more extensive than we expected, spread over several floors including a basement and an attic. There were all manner of exhibits, but the ones that stood-out the most were, at least two (possibly more) original BBC TV stage-sets. These were for the original 1978 Christopher Timothy and Robert Hardy ‘All Creatures Great and Small’ TV series. Very nostalgic memories for me; as I had enjoyed watching these as a younger person.
There were other exhibits mostly showing the history of how people lived (mostly just survived it would seem) in Yorkshire over the last 200 to 300-odd years. This was a very interesting visit and we spent well-over an hour looking around the exhibits which were very varied. The staff were excellent and knowledgeable, and we thank them for their contributions and their kindness.

午餐前还有几个小时,我们决定去看看预订的那家餐厅,结果看到了这家餐厅的招牌。我们决定进一步了解,工作人员告诉我们,每人只需支付6英镑的优惠门票,就可以好好参观一番,这让我们印象深刻。
博物馆比我们预想的要大得多,分布在好几层楼,包括一个地下室和一个阁楼。展品种类繁多,但最引人注目的是至少两个(可能更多)BBC电视舞台布景的原版。这些是1978年克里斯托弗·蒂莫西和罗伯特·哈代主演的《万物生灵》电视连续剧的原版。对我来说,这些回忆非常怀旧;因为我年轻时很喜欢看这些剧。
博物馆里还有其他展览,主要展示了过去200到300多年来约克郡人们的生活历史(似乎大多数人只是勉强生存下来)。这次参观非常有趣,我们花了一个多小时参观了内容丰富的展品。工作人员非常优秀,知识渊博,我们感谢他们的贡献和善意。
