Massive wooden corner support


Every time I pass this support post I am impressed by the size and volume of wood. However, when you look more closely at it you can see that it is in fact made up of several pieces of wood cleverly interlocking together. In fact it is a bit like some of the joints I have seen on architraves on Barrat homes, no sorry, it is better than a lot of the awful joints I have seen on Barrat homes. Have you worked out where it is?

It is on the corner of the National Trust shop on the corner of Goodramgate and College Street next to St. Williams College.

National Trust Shop - Goodramgate

The National Trust looks after a number of heritage sites throughout the UK. The sites include old buildings, gardens, woodlands and moorland. It is run by volunteers and many of the houses have a staff of volunteer guides to give you information about the history of a house you are visiting. The Trust is run independent of the Government and as such needs to raise revenue to maintain buildings. This delightful looking shop in Goodramgate sells a number of National Trust items for this purpose.

The nearest National Trust property to this shop is the Treasurer's House which you can find just around the corner to the right when you walk towards the Minster.
