Clock Tower on Magistartes Court

This is a view across the River Ouse from Skeldergate where the clock tower of the magistrates court looms over the surrounding buildings. Prior to it's use as a magistrates court it was the York Technical College which is now housed on the edge of York on Tadcaster Road at Askham Bar.

Blue Bridge fromTerry Avenue

This is the view across the River Ouse towards Blue Bridge where the River Foss joins the River Ouse. The River water level is high though not in flood. When there are high levels of rainfall in the Yorkshire dales the water becomes heavy with peat, hence the brown colouration of the water.

Spring Time Daffodils By Robin Hood Tower

Daffodils by the city walls make a yellow carpet near to the Robin Hood Tower between Bootham Bar and Monk Bar.

Doors within the walls 8 - Merchant Taylors Hall

The fraternity of St John the Baptist related to the Taylor's Guild were reponsible for building the hall in the 14th century. However, the 14th century origins of this building are masked by a 17th century brick cladding. The Taylor's Guild received a Royal Charter of Incorporation in 1661. Inside the building is a wonderful vaulted ceiling with exposed woodwork. There is also a beautiful wooden floor and some excellent painted windows. Unfortunately, the hall is not open to the public and the only way that you can see inside is if you attend a function at the hall.

Cock and Bottle Pub - Skeldergate

This building has always seemed a bit strange to me as you do not see many buildings in York in which the top half is timber planking.
