York City Centre! (2023) #YORK #YORKSHIRE

Exploring the beautiful and historic city of York! York is a cathedral city with Roman origins, sited at the confluence of the rivers Ouse and Foss in North Yorkshire, England. It is the historic county town of Yorkshire. The city has many historic buildings and other structures, including York Minster, a large gothic cathedral which dominates the city skyline. It is the largest settlement and the administrative centre of the wider City of York district. York’s centre is enclosed by the city’s medieval walls, which are a popular walk. These defences are the most complete in England. They have the only walls set on high ramparts and they retain all their principal gateways. They incorporate part of the walls of the Roman fortress and some Norman and medieval work, as well as 19th- and 20th-century renovations. A feature of central York is the Snickelways, narrow pedestrian routes, many of which led towards the former market-places in Pavement and St Sampson’s Square. The Shambles is a historic street in York, England, featuring preserved medieval buildings, some dating back as far as the 14th century. The street is narrow, with many timber-framed buildings with jettied floors that overhang the street by several feet. It is lined with shops, boutiques and tea rooms, and the unusual name comes from an old English term for an open-air meat market. Most of these premises were once butchers’ shops, and the shelves on which meat was laid out can still be seen outside some of them.
