	GENUKI: Skipton History
		Skipton, a respectable built town, consisting chiefly of one street, is the capital and mart of Craven, which, by having the benefit of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal passing close to the town, the greatest facility is afforded to its trade.
		At the north end of the town is the Castle, the erection of which elevated this place at once from a poor dependant village to a respectable town; for in times of turbulence and disorder, the inhabitants of the adjoining country would naturally crowd for protection under its walls.
		And although Skipton never had a municipal government, except that of a Reve, and was never represented in Parliament, the town is generally, styled in Charters, a Burgh, and its inhabitants, Burgesses.

	Skipton Waterway Festival
		The theme for this year’s Skipton Canal Festival is Skipton by the Sea.
		It attracts hundreds of boaters to Yorkshire and last year it was estimated that around 8,000 visitors came to enjoy the stalls and the varied family entertainment which took place on the canalside during the day and the illuminated cruise on the Sunday evening.
		Skipton is on the longest canal on our network at 127 miles long and links the two cities of Leeds and Liverpool, both of them next to the sea, so we thought we would use this theme would be appropriate."

	Welcome to The Skipton Fund
