Colour on Coney Street

A bit of warmth on Coney Street, worth enlarging for a better view of what's on offer. 

Coney Street: stone meets timber

This is where Coney Street meets New Street. The stone building is now home to Starbucks, whilst Orange have a boutique on the first floor of the timbered construction. Even independent coffee-shop fans should visit Starbucks here, if only to admire the ceiling. 

Bright young thing

A colourful welcome to 2011 from this relative newcomer on Coney Street.

Admire

Whatever the weather St Martin's Little Admiral  on Coney Street is always at his post, and always on time.

God and Mammon?

The late afternoon sun warms brick and stone where St Martins le Grand meets Coney Street.

Pretty, gruesome, incongruous …

… speaking of the architecture, the faces and the clock, in that order. This is Coney Street, meaning King's Street, but in some ancient Norse dialect; it is probably York's busiest shopping street. There are six or more similar faces of uncertain significance evenly situated on the intricately decorated façade of the building. The clock, with its riveted metal casing and modern numerals seems out of place here.
