Barley Hall - The York Adventures 2019
Barley Hall is a reconstructed medieval townhouse in the city of York, England. It was originally built around 1360 by the monks of Nostell Priory near Wakefield. It was extended in the 15th century. The property went into a slow decline and by the 19th and 20th centuries heavily sub-divided and in an increasingly poor physical condition. It was bought by the York Archaeological Trust in 1987, renamed Barley Hall, and heavily restored in a controversial project to form a museum.
On our visit we saw all there was to see we did enjoy it. There was a theme about magic and witchcraft which was very interesting.

Walking through the streets of York, United Kingdom - Ambience Sounds ASMR
York is a city and unitary authority area in North Yorkshire, England, with a population of 208,200 as of 2017. Located at the confluence of the Rivers Ouse and Foss, it is the county town of the historic county of Yorkshire. The city is known for its famous historical landmarks such as York Minster and the city walls, as well as a variety of cultural and sporting activities, which makes it a popular tourist destination in England. The local authority is the City of York Council, a single tier governing body responsible for providing all local services and facilities throughout the city. The City of York local government district includes rural areas beyond the old city boundaries. It is about 20 miles north-east of Leeds.
The city was founded by the Romans as Eboracum in 71 AD. It became the capital of the Roman province of Britannia Inferior, and later of the kingdoms of Deira, Northumbria and Jórvík. In the Middle Ages, York grew as a major wool trading centre and became the capital of the northern ecclesiastical province of the Church of England, a role it has retained. In the 19th century, York became a major hub of the railway network and a confectionery manufacturing centre, a status it maintained well into the 20th century. During the Second World War, York was bombed as part of the Baedeker Blitz. Although less affected by bombing than other northern cities, several historic buildings were gutted and restoration efforts continued into the 1960s. In 2000, York suffered very severe flooding as the River Ouse rose, affecting over 300 homes.
The economy of York is dominated by services. The University of York and National Health Service are major employers, whilst tourism has become an important element of the local economy. In 2016, York became sister cities with the Chinese city of Nanjing, as per an agreement signed by the Lord Mayor of York, focusing on building links in tourism, education, science, technology and culture. Today, the city is a popular tourist attraction, especially for international visitors from China and Asia. In 2017, York became UK's first human rights city, which formalised the city’s aim to use human rights in decision making.

York, The Shambles
The Shambles is actually an old street in York, (North Yorkshire, England), but it has come to identify an ancient neighborhood of timber-framed buildings and twisty alleys. It's popular with tourists so not everything is authentic - but the old buildings still creak with character.
The word Shambles doesn't mean that it's a mess. It refers, in old Anglo-Saxon, to a street of butchers and meat merchants. You can still see meat-hooks embedded in some of the buildings. Today it's filled with shops and restaurants.
