Photo of York, The Minster From The City Walls 1921

More about this scene

To the right of the view, the tall building, built in 1884, was Walker's Repository for Horses; later, the building was shortened to about half its height. A lone tram trundles around the corner, and a few cars can be seen. To the rear of the photograph, on the right of the Minster, stands the smaller tower of St Wilfrid's Church, which was built in 1864 and still stands.

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.
