Woodsmill Quay, York 2

This is the quieter, non-tourist side of the River Ouse, where former warehouses are now luxury flats. These buildings are between Lendal and Skeldergate bridges, opposite the famous and frequently flooded King's Arms pub. I like the fact that the gantry has been retained.

The King's Arms on King Street, York

This pub is on the riverside opposite Woodsmill Quay (see Feb 12). The ground floor walls have been exposed probably because the frequent floods would ruin any rendering. To the left is Ouse Bridge, and to the right the terrace of houses posted on Feb 2. More York pubs here and a panoramic view showing this one here.

Apartments and offices now, I think, these buildings remind us of York's more recent history and of the commercial usefulness of the Rivers Ouse and Foss.
