More about this scene

This is the second Station Hotel; it was completed in 1878. Renamed the Royal York Hotel when it was bought in 1983, it is a Grade 2 listed building. The station and hotel were designed by Thomas Prosser. Both thrive to the present day. The first hotel, built about 1851, still stands to the east of the old railway station, and is used by British Rail as offices.

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.
