May 2016 - York Stories

Sunday signage selection

A selection of signage recently appreciated, from the Fishergate/Fulford Road/Lawrence Street areas of York.

The proposed demolition of the buildings on Ordnance Lane: an appreciation of them, and some observations on the planning application.

The plans for Stonebow House, removing much of what it offered to the casual urban wanderer. An urban wanderer ponders the plans.

Photos of work at the Foss barrier, and links to and info on the planning application for the temporary platform to enable necessary improvements.

Archive images of Stonegate, with a variety of surfaces. A few notes and observations in response to the paving/patching controversy.

Signs in windows on Walmgate and Fossgate show that, for some, things aren’t back to normal yet after the flooding of the Foss.

Flood risk and financially viable futures: should the ground floor of this former almshouse by Foss Bridge become a restaurant?

The ‘lodge’ building on the fire station site, Peckitt Street. Flood risk means it is likely to be lost in the redevelopment of the site.
