Trio of monuments

 

Taken from the front of the Art Gallery on Exhibition Square, we have, from left to right:
 William Etty, York's most famous artist (1787 - 1849),
Bootham Bar,  the north-west gate to the city,
York Minster, Europe's largest gothic cathedral,
an open-top tour bus.

Bootham Bar (14th century and later) stands almost on the site of the Roman gate of Eboracum.
