2. Bessie Surtees House

This home found along the Quayside has a plaque on it that has a very interesting story to tell: the richest, most beautiful girl in town lived here at one time. She had many suitors, but her family did not approve of the poor man that she truly loved. She crawled out of one of the windows in this house and ran to Scotland to get married. This poor man ended up becoming a lord. In addition to the legendary story that took place here, this attraction is also notable for its interesting period architecture.   (© 10Best)
