Coney Street is probably the most popular shopping street in York. It is absolutely heaving on Saturday afternoons with shoppers. Most of them are focused on their shopping and miss the architecture and design features that are above their line of vision. I know it is becoming like a mantra with me, but, "lift up your eyes and look at the floor levels above the ground floor". This wonderful bit of building is above Boots the Chemist and was plainly two adjacent buildings in an earlier time before being knocked through into one large building that turns through ninety degrees and has a separate entrance in Feasegate. The coat of arms of the city can be seen on the left hand side of the right window and the Cross Keys seal of St. Peter(York Minster is dedicated to St. Peter) on the right hand side.
