More about this scene

Standing tranquilly a few minutes away from the town centre, this church was built in the 11th century. Over time it has had many changes. The tower and spire were added in the 15th century; the spire rises to a height of 120 feet. Some of the most beautiful stained glass in England adorns the windows of the building.

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.
