More about this scene

Imphal Barracks covered a huge area, and could house at least one cavalry regiment and an infantry battalion, as well as providing support for reservists, volunteer units and recruit training. In 1886 the resident cavalry regiment was the 3rd Hussars, some of whom are seen here at sabre practice. Yorkshire regiments fought in many parts of the world, including Egypt, Europe and the North-West Frontier.

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.
