Mansion House, York

A first look at the 300 year-old official residence of the Lord Mayor of York on St Helen's Square. The linked site is worth a visit.

Ooze, not owz …

This is the Ouse (pronounced ooze, so no cricket puns please), the larger of York's two rivers. Ahead is the graceful span of Lendal Bridge, beyond which can be seen the back of The Mansion House, the tower of St Martins Le Grand and the City Screen terrace.
