Hello everyone!
Such exciting times for Masham...
For those of you who live in and around Masham, and those others who visit or just follow news of our lovely town, will know that Masham and Lower Wensleydale was 'removed' from the map when work started on the A1 upgrade in 2005. Now, after years of battling to get a brown sign instated, and having provided our own temporary sign (a story in itself) Masham is finally back on the map. A hard fought battle, with the sign being funded by local businesses and the Parish Council. Well done to all those who took up the fight and won!
