Craven Curiosities clues

LAST week's Craven Curiosities was a little easier than usual - it was part of a pestle and mortar set, and was correctly identified by Anne Lindsay of Steeton; Brenda Wood, from Rathmell, and regular guesser, David Heather from Settle. Experts at Craven Museum and Gallery tell us this particular pestle was used by dispensing and other chemists.It has a white ceramic head, which is stained on one side, and a turned wooden handle. It is 191mm long. All items featured in this column can be viewed at the Craven District Council-run museum which is located at Skipton Town Hall. It is open Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 10am to 4pm.
