Aldwark from St Anthony's Hall

Aldwark, not to be confused with the North Yorkshire village of the same name is a street of tall imposing buildings. The stonework in the foreground is the corner of St anthony's Hall which now houses the Quilt Museum. The "wark" part of Aldwark derives from the same root as Newark wark meaning work Ald meaning old. So I suppose you could say that Aldwark and Newark are opposites.
