More about this scene

Most of the stone used in the construction of the Minster was carried up this street. The names of streets and alleys are sometimes strange, such as Whipmawhopmagate and Jubbergate. One of the more interesting was Mucky Peg's Lane, which unfortunately was changed to Finkle Street.

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.
