A bit more York

...More charm, more cobbled streets, more big wooden cat doors?




Left: Part of the old city wall. The little wooden swinging cat door-type thing at the top was for the archers. They could lean out, fire on the enemy, and then the door would swing back down to cover them from return fire.

Right: The Shambles. Former meat market street, now a shopping street.
