Lift Up Your Eyes 25 - Galtres Chambers - Coppergate

I have to admit that I have probably walked past this edifice hundreds of times and never really noticed that it was there in Coppergate until I started this series of "lift up your eyes" postings. Galtres is probably the third most popular name in the area after "Ebor" the shortened version of Eboracum, the Roman name for York and Jorvik the Viking name. Galtres Forest used to lay to the north of the city and is claimed by some to be the true haunt of "Robin Hood" and not Sherwood as maintained in the classic tale of Robin Hood.
