Killinghall, the large village near Harrogate with little to offer visitors, is having a moment.
A Tesco Express opened today on the site of the former Three Horseshoes pub on Ripon Road. Tomorrow, an 80-seat cafe offering food cooked by a Michelin-starred chef will open a short stroll down the road at Daleside Nurseries.
On April 8, the Old Spring Well at the other end of the village will re-open as The Curious Cow of Harrogate, promising a high-end dining experience.
Finally it seems people may have a reason to visit Killinghall other than to view new houses.
Large plants grown in hothouses are a prominent design feature.

The cafe will open from 9am to 5pm six days a week and on Friday evenings.
An outdoor area overlooking the lake outside the café is due to open later this year, catering for another 80 people.

Ms Atkins says the menu will change frequently but the idea is to combine plant-based food with produce from local farmers. Local cheeses will be sold at a later date.

Stuart Townsend, managing director of Daleside, said this was the biggest improvement in Daleside's 64-year history.
