Flower Tubs and York Minster

The city council are putting a lot of effort with flower displays around the city. Just a shame that over the road from this point the council offices in St. Leonards have been left to deteriorate and become shabby in a most criminal and neglecful way.

Cooplands and Molton Brown - Daveygate

Probably as much symettry here as yesterdays picture as there is no chimney stack but the effect is spoiled when you get down to the ground level and the two shop fronts Cooplands and Molton Brown differ.

As the date and time has a certain symettry here is a building with stacks of symettry as long as you ignore the chimney stack!

City Art

The City Art Gallery and The National Portrait Gallery have got to gether to place waterproof reproductions of works of art around the city. This one is located in Daveygate in what was the churchyard of St. Helen's church.

Burton Stone

The Burton Stone Public House stands at the junction of Burton Stone Lane and Clifton. It takes the name from the stone that stands at the corner of the pub. The stone was used during the time of the Black Death plague and has hollows chipped out of the stone. The holes were filled with vinegar into which city dwellers would drop money and food would be left by farmers in the area by the stone. Burton was the name of a family living nearby. This stone is the only one left of four that existed around the city at the time of the plague. The stone is displayed just outside the corner of the pub where the group of women can be seen walking by.
