Lady in Red 5, 6 and 7


Looking north-west upstream towards Lendal Bridge from the City Screen boardwalk. You can make closer acquaintance with these particular ladies in red here.

The old ones are the best …


The old ice-cream joke on the banks of the Ouse, just outside of the Museum Gardens. For the benefit of non-native speakers, licked is a slang synonym for beaten. The almost invisible railway bridge in the background carries the east-coast traffic from London to Edinburgh.

Lady in red 2


Seen from Lendal Bridge, one of York's bus-boats arrives at the bottom of Museum Gardens.

All dressed up and nowhere to go


Pleasure boats on the Ouse seen from Lendal Bridge, showing the Guildhall and the modern City Screen  with its inviting terrace. For a panoramic view go here to the wonderful York 360ยบ site.

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.
