UK2018 Trip - Dec 7

[johncomic]

Today's jaunt was short but sweet, taking in stretches I have seen many times along with ones brand new to me! After a damp morning, a sunny break coaxed me out:



Just a block up the street from me is Pavement Vaults, which I see almost every day but never thought to snap until now:



A few blocks further up took me into terra nova. At one single intersection I saw the Assembly Rooms:




St. Leonard's Place:



and St. Wilfrid's



From there I took a left, past Museum Gardens:



and ruined walls which I think may have been part of St. Mary's Abbey:



til I came to Lendal Bridge, guarded on the east by Lendal Tower:



Here's the view of the River Ouse from Lendal Bridge:



West Lodge guards the west end of the bridge:



across from the North Street Postern:



and what looks like a walkway running along the top of an old city wall?



Also caught a glimpse of the City Cruises York boats:



Circling back across the Ouse, I went past St. Helen's:



and St. Martin le Grand:



took a peek down Coppergate just to see what I could see:



and came back to All Saints Pavement:



which is right across the street from Pavement Vaults and I see it almost every day, but never snapped it until today! I even went round the back:



and also found a little walkway that runs behind it, which I had never been on before.



This city is filled with small hidden delights.
