We left the hotel and got onto the freeway ??? Headed for Leeds.
As we had plenty of time, we decided to go into Halifax, to visit Shibden Hall, which was the home of Anne Lister. The TV show, Gentleman Jack is about her life.
There was a original coach house come stables, 17th Century Aisled Barn
What an amazing place, and what an amazing woman she was !!
We were going to the Piece Hall, but the traffic was so bad, we decided to head straight to Leeds, and visit the Piece Hall after we leave narrowboat in 10 days.
Getting into Leeds was a nightmare !!!!! There are so many road works and so much construction. Google actually took us around on circles twice, and even had us heading back the way we had come !!! Very time consuming and very frustrating. After at lest an hour, finally we found our way to where we are pick the Narrowboat up tomorrow, and then managed to find our way to the hotel, which we had already passed, with out too much trouble. We went to nearby Tesco Express and bought a few groceries to take on the narrowboat tomorrow and then had dinner and drinks in the hotel. As with most UK hotels, there is no fridge in the room, not great when you have medication that needs to be refrigerated ! As with the other hotels, we asked that it be put in the kitchen fridge, this time however, the response was … that’s ok , but we can have a fridge put in your room, if you would prefer !!.
Many thanks, that’s what I call customer service!!
