More about this scene

This elegant Elizabethan mansion was originally built for the Secretary of the Council of the North in 1568. The hall changed hands many times over the following centuries before being almost rebuilt in the mid 19th century. The university became established here in 1963; it now has a total of more than 3,000 students.

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.
