The Black Swan, York

I've posted a ground-level view of the Black Swan before; this one is taken from upstairs in Peasholme House on St Saviour's Place. Behind on the left are the DEFRA government offices, and on the right, the first phase of the Hungate development.

Spring is sprung, even in York.

St Cuthbert's crocuses:  the church lies just within the north city walls on Peaseholm Green, opposite King's Pool. It is the home of YoYo, the York Schools and Youth Trust, which seeks "to support and serve schools in the communication of the Christian faith." For a panoramic view of the exterior, go here.
