Sweets in Yarm: Georgian High Street Voted Britain's Best

Yarm sits on a tight loop of the River Tees, and its Georgian high street has been turning heads for centuries — enough to win a national vote in recent years.

A market town since King John's charter

Yarm was first recorded in the Domesday Book in 1086, and in 1207 King John granted a charter for a weekly Tuesday market and two annual fairs, establishing it as a trading hub at the tidal head of the Tees. The town still sits almost encircled by the river's loop.

Georgian houses that won a BBC vote

Yarm's High Street is fronted by Georgian-style buildings with distinctive red pantile roofs, including Yarm Town Hall, built in 1710 by Thomas Belasyse, 3rd Viscount Fauconberg. In a poll for the BBC's Breakfast programme on 19 January 2007, Yarm's High Street was voted the best in Britain.

Sweets still arrive the same way as everywhere else
