How a group of Yorkshire women were determined to save a tradition
For generations the women of Skipton have pegged out their washing on lines strung across the back alley that separates Thornton Street from Clitheroe Street.
But when a man complained that this practice prevented him parking his car behind his house, it looked as though this tradition might come to an end.
