Thinking of buying from door to door sales? Please see the following link: https://www.gov.uk/doorstep-selling-regulations
Also remember that a peddler should have an identification card signed by a Chief Constable. Also services such as probation will never endorse door to door sales.

The Local History Group is putting together a book in the same format as Slingsby Then and Now, but on the subject of farming, which has always been an important mainstay of the village.
