Holy Trinity Church - Micklegate

Holy Trinity in Micklegate is probably one of the most difficult churches in York to photograph as it is surrounded by trees. This is the entrance door which makes a pleasing shot. One of the best views of Holy Trininty is probably from the city walls by the Railway Station.

Cholera Graveyard - Near Rail Station

This is the old Cholera Graveyard near York Railway Station viewed from the city walls. In the background through the trees is the Royal York Hotel that stands next to the Railway Station.

Micklegate Bar

Micklegate bar was the main entrance into the city from the west. In former times the road approaching it was the A64 but since the southern by pass was built the by pass became the A64. Inside the bar wall is the street known as Micklegate. In York, gate indicates a street name and bar indicates a gateway, a little confusing at first but you soon get used to it. Micklegate is probably most (in)famous for the number of public houses on the street and the notorious Micklegate Run, a challenge to have a drink in every drinking place along the street unfortunately has led to unsavoury scenes during weekend evenings.

York Minster from Holy Trininty - Goodramgate

There are views of York Minster all over the city, some are more interesting views than others. This view is from Holy Trininity in Goodramgate just at the point where Hornpot Lane enters the churchyard.
