A SPECIAL PLACE

I hope these photographs of a beautiful autumn day in York will convince everyone of what a special place it is.Tourists and locals walk the ancient Roman wall that surrounds the city centre. In the distance, the Minster and to the right GNER’s headquarters. Outside the wall to the left (out of view) is the Train Station and Royal York Hotel.

The Market in York has had numerous homes throughout the centre over the centuries. It spent much of its life in St Sampson Square and then Parliament Street and since the 1960s it finds itself here in the Little Shambles.

(York Train Station and the Royal York Hotel) I’ve been to the Royal York for a Christmas Ball. I found the ball a bore (debating society’s ball), but the venue was amazing.

How many Canadian buildings were built in 1434 and are still open to serving the public? The buildings in York are ancient but that doesn’t mean just look don’t touch. They are used today just as they were used so many centuries ago.
