View from an upstairs window in Stonegate

This is the view from an upstairs window from an establishment in Stonegate taken through the small open space between two windows where the opening movement has been severely restricted only allowing a small opening through which the photograph was taken. This has resulted in me cropping the sides of the photo to remove the edges of the window that were framing one edge of the photo where the black and white timbered building can be seen. So the task is to identify where I was standing to take the photograph.

Watkinsons Shoe Shop Goodramgate

Not the shop to visit if you are looking for cheap shoes. Higher end shoes stocked here judging by the prices.

Timbered building Goodramgate

According to the the plaque TIA 1700. Does anybody know what TIA stands for? This is a genuine question and not a quiz by the way! I presume the A will be "Anno" for year. What springs to mind (but not readily) is Terminus In Anno, finished in year but my layin is too rusty and I stand to be corrected.

Tallest Building in Goodramgate

WHen viewed from the city walls the five story building stands way above all the surrounding buildings. Superdrug have now taken on a shop in Goodramgate making it their second shop in York.

Follow The Foss - 9 - Past Huntington Church to Ring Road

The river continues in meandering curves with wooded banks and Huntington Road never too far away although you can't hear the traffic and the atmosphere is tranquil.

 

Anoter stile but only two way markers on the rail.

 

This small bridge links Huntington Church with the village. Turn to the left at the bridge to head towards the church. The footpath on the left hand bank is gained through the car park at the side of the church and is clearly marked.

 

 

 

 

In the midst of all this green this group of Asters is growing wild at the edge of woodland near the ring road. Several butterflies and bees were feeding on nectar on the flowers.

Finally the ring road comes into sight and this is where I finished for the time being. In the next few weeks I'll travel further up the River Foss towards Haxby and Strensall.

All the photographs taken on this walk can be seen in my Follow The Foss album on Facebook.
