View from Queenstaith to Kingstaith

From Queenstaith over the River Ouse you can see the buildings along Queenstaith. In the far left is the King's Arms pub famous for being flooded when the river rises. The building was originally built as a customs house for when ships travelled up the Ouse to York. It was known as the Ouse Bridge Inn before succumbing to being rebranded as the King's ArmsOn the far right of the picture is the Lowther Hotel, another public house. Cumberland Street runs uphill next to the Lowther.

Lowther Hotel

The bright colours of the lower section that has been repainted make the Lowther seem less forbidding than the previos black waterproofing of the lower level. I am sure whether it will be practical though, as it will probably need regular repainting after each flooding.
