More about this scene

In St Helen's Square, what had been a Guildhall Chapel and then a public house was demolished to make way for the building of a residence for the Lord Mayor. The result was this charming abode. It was built in about 1775, and is now one of the three oldest surviving buildings of its kind in England.

I miss this place
my grandparents and great grandparents married in this church and lived in the Stonebow and Pavement area.My great-grandfather and his father sold humbugs in the Shambles market:
In the early & mid 50's as a lad I spent my weekends working in the boatyard by the bridge. As you look at the picture it was downstream of Kendal bridge on the left. Access was through the arch on this side of the bridge. A selection of rowboats & a motorboat river cruiser that did afternoon runs to Bishopthorpe Palace. A start to a life of over 40 years at sea or involved in the maritime world that included over 22 years in the maritime branch of the Army. Oh happy days.
