EnglishLanguage School - New Street

New Street between Daveygate and Coney Street always seems to be busy whenever I pass by with students from the English Language College standing in groups, taking a break from their studies. There are several English Language Colleges in York. Ones I know of include one in Coney Street and one in Micklegate.

The erosion of stonework in this window in Newgate has a n interesting pattern and looks as though it has recently been cleaned up to produce interesting and intricate patterns in the stonework.

Minster School from Queen's Path

The red painted facade of the Minster School dominates the view on the right hand side of the Queen's Path along the side of the Minster heading towards St William's College. The Queen's Path is so called because it was along this path pensioners of the city were presented with Maundy Money by the Queen on Maundy Thursday in 1972. The number of coins given each year is equal to the age of the monarch. The oldest recipient of Maundy Money from the Queen was Kathleen Grimwood at the age of 107 at St Edmundsbury Cathedral in Bury St Edmunds in 2009.
