York Streets and Bridges Gimbal Walk With Me England

This is York Enbgland tour around city across streets and bridges 🙂

York is a cathedral city with Roman roots, located at the confluence of the rivers Ouse and Foss in North Yorkshire, England. It is a historic Yorkshire town. The city has many historic buildings and other structures such as the cathedral, castle and city walls. It is the largest settlement and administrative center of the wider City of York.

The city was founded under the name of Eboracum in 71 AD. It then became the capital of the Roman province of Britannia Inferior and later the kingdoms of Deira, Northumbria and Scandinavian York. In the Middle Ages, it became the center of the ecclesiastical province of northern England and developed as a center for the wool trade. In the 19th century, it became the main junction of the railway network and a center for the production of sweets. During the Second World War, part of the Baedeker Blitz bombed the city; it was less affected by the war than other towns in the north, and several historic buildings were gutted and restored by the 1960s.

In 1931 John Lamplugh Kirk, a physician and amateur archaeologist based in Pickering, North Yorkshire advertised for expressions of interest from sites who wished to house his large collection of objects relating to the study of Social History. Although he received responses from sites in Middlesbrough, Wakefield, Batley, Doncaster and York, it was the latter which was ultimately successful. The Female Prison was bought by the York Corporation in 1934 and modified to house the Kirk Collection of “bygones”, opening as the Castle Museum on 23 April 1938.A major attraction of this new museum was the recreation of a late Victorian street, named ‘Kirkgate’; this was the first of its kind in Britain.

01:05 York Castle is a fortified complex in the city of York, England. It consists of a sequence of castles, prisons, law courts and other buildings, which were built over the last nine centuries on the south side of the River Foss. The now-ruined keep of the medieval Norman castle is commonly referred to as Clifford’s Tower. Built originally on the orders of William I to dominate the former Viking city of Jórvík, the castle suffered a tumultuous early history before developing into a major fortification with extensive water defences. After a major explosion in 1684 rendered the remaining military defences uninhabitable, York Castle continued to be used as a gaol and prison until 1929.

The first motte and bailey castle on the site was built in 1068 following the Norman conquest of York. After the destruction of the castle by rebels and a Viking army in 1069, York Castle was rebuilt and reinforced with extensive water defences, including a moat and an artificial lake. York Castle formed an important royal fortification in the north of England.

They were opened on 19 October 1892 by the Lord Mayor of York, John Close who unveiled a bust of the late Duke of Clarence which had be sculpted by Francis John Williamson. The style of the building was a free treatment of Gothic architecture with the main entrance on Clifford Street and a projecting bay at each end carried up to octagonal turrets enriched with carved stonework at a greater height that the remainder of the facade. In the apex of the pediment is carved the arms of the city of York and above them a figure of Justice holding the scales. Behind is a clock tower.
