Prospect Cottage. These premises contain Prospect Cottage, principal farmhouse of medieval Crookisnab - an irregular promontory seperating the two ancient villages of High and Low Harrogate. From 1814 to 1825 it was home to James Franklin, who in 1810 purchased for £9000 the whole of central Harrogate between York Place and the site of the Hotel Majestic. Until c.1780, Prospect Cottage was central Harrogate's only substantial building.
