Doors within the walls 23 - St Michael Le Belfrey Church


I have waited for months to get an oppurtunity to photograph this door without a vehicle parked in front of it or them being open. St. Michael Le Belfrey stands in the shadow of York Minster but is an interesting church in its own right despite it being ignored by most visitors who are making their way to the Minster.

Pedestrian and cycle tunnel by Railway Museum


This is a tunnel that a lot of visitors to the railway museum will use on their way to the National Railway Museum. It passes under the York to Scarborough railway line just before the line crosses the River Ouse over Scarborough Bridge.

Buskers - Coppergate Centre


Two of the better buskers you can see around York playing folk music. Stuart and Paul also often turn up to the Friday night session at the Tap and Spile in Monkgate. Note the little yellow ticket in the fiddle case, this shows that they are approved by the city council to perform as buskers in York.

St. Lawrence Church - Lawrence Street


St. Lawrence Church is a large Victorian Gothic building built in 1888 in the grounds of an older smaller church. All that remains of the older church that was demolished when the present church was built, is the tower. The present church dwarfs the old tower which has remained consecrated.

Waggon and Horses - Lawrence Street


On a wet and rainy afternoon there is probably no more welcoming site than a good pub. This is a good pub as well, The Waggon and Horses in Lawrence Street. It has recently been refurbished and opend up as a Bateman's house and also sells a range of interesting guest beers. For visitors to York it also provides accomodation.
