Wooler has been a market town since 1199, at the foot of the Cheviot Hills, though you'd struggle to find much standing from that long ago.
A market charter from 1199
Wooler was granted a licence to hold a market every Thursday in 1199, and the wool trade that followed made it, by the 13th century, one of the richest townships in Northumberland, equal in standing to Newcastle and Alnwick.
Rebuilt by fire, twice
Centuries of Border Reiver raids gave Wooler a troubled past, but it was two major fires, in 1722 and 1862, that destroyed most of its older buildings — which is why the town's character today is largely Victorian.
