Our trip to York earlier this week. Weather was fairly kind to us, sunny but cold and a bit windy. Heres the Castle Museum with a certain someone in shot! York is full of fantastic buildings and this one houses just one part of the Museum. The Museum is fantastic too, 2nd time we've been in 8 months!
Inside the Museum is Kirkgate, a street that could have been in York. They have put in place a Fire Station, toy shop, Chemists, bank, grocery shop etc. What i love about it is, as this picture shows, the street goes dark once very 20 minutes or so. Then there is a lightening storm and the street is dark for 5 minutes. Its great and really atmospheric. This is a GPO cart that only showed as this when I took a picture with my flash, I couldnt see the writing before this.
A great vintage Victorian Bike - the Museum was started by John Lamplugh Kirk, who had gathered many items together to display, showing English culture and customs. 
Horse Nails in the Museum - the Museum also spreads into the old Jail and the cells are used to display tools of many trades - blacksmiths here.
The Shambles - very famous and because of that very busy and touristy. For me, just look at the Tudor overhangs - maybe 3-4 feet apart. Overhangs were used to give more space to the buildings without taking up more space on the paths below.
York Minster - so big I just couldnt fit all of the front in one photo!! Heres the front door!
Looking up at the front of the Minster, a fantastic building both inside and out. Time was getting on so we didnt go in this time.
A Brilliant Day!!
