Goodramgate shops and signs


Originally Gutherumgate, after a local warrior, this street goes back to the Viking period 1100 years ago. It contains architecture spanning 700 years, including the oldest row of dwellings in York (1316). For more well-researched information go here.

  3. Love the upper "bits" of Goodramgate. Pity that some of the shops under are rather tacky. Beautiful photo! Ciao. A.
