Thanks Stephen, I appreciate your support. Don’t mind if people don’t want to comment - am happy that the opportunity is there, and for it to evolve naturally - or not.

If it got too busy my cheap website hosting might not be able to cope … !

Hi Stephen - the footbridge I remember us calling ‘Dickie Bridge’ is the second of those you mention - we walked from town via Blossom St and then down Dalton Terrace to the alleyway behind The Mount school, then over the railway at Dickie Bridge. On the way back, went via the other footbridge you mention, from Wilton Rise/Railway Terrace across the rail lines to Cinder Lane, emerging near the back of the railway station, near that glorious ‘Marble Arch’ tunnel.

Regarding the Nestle site … I have a half-done page on this, hope to get it completed soon. The site might just sit empty and undeveloped for years, of course …

Is ‘Dickie Bridge’that one between Cinder Lane and Railway Terrace,(pedestrian only pathway),or is it the one between Love Lane and Holgate gardens,or what? I find your journey’s, to and from your destinations,in York’s squiggly snickets,alleyways and Yards,as interesting as the end product and photo’s.Nice to know they’ve made a productive use for your ‘big black thing’of your youth.
Would be nice if the same could be done for the Rowntree/Macintosh/Nestle/Whatever name ,big red brick thing on Haxby Road,instead of high rise/high rent/high class folk flats destiny!
Wonder if any one agrees?
