A brief York walk, earlier this evening.
By Scarborough Bridge, looking across the river towards the end of Marygate, the Museum Gardens and Minster behind.
New signs point out the more accessible sloped access, a relatively recent improvement.
On Leeman Road, the handsome gates to the Memorial Gardens.
The new development known as Hudson Quarter. More on this link.
Just outside the walls, near Queen Street bridge.
Micklegate Bar, and evening sunlight.
Looking through the springtime green of trees to the street called Toft Green.
By the corner of the city walls between Micklegate Bar and the station, patterns and light on the old stone.
Hudson Quarter again.
And some older and more recognisable buildings.
Looking out from the walls.
On Lendal Bridge, looking towards Ouse Bridge. That 20th century hotel block in the middle is rather dominant, isn’t it.
Is it still called the Viking Hotel? I remember it was considered an eyesore when it went up in the 60s-although not in the same league as Stonebow.
Hi Jeremy, apparently it’s under the Park Inn by Radisson brand. These large hotels seem to change their names frequently.
