York England Tour
York England Tour. This video features a concise guide to York, emphasising things to see and do, as well as relate some local history pertaining to many of the historic structures in the city centre.
A Victorian Railway Station Today
Today’s station sits on the East Coast Mainline (ECML) that runs trains from London Kings Cross to Edinburgh as well as incorporating other routes to the South-West, Harrogate, Kingston Upon Hull and Scarborough. The current station was designed by Thomas Prosser and William Peachey and originally had 13 platforms. York station is a principal stop in the north of England providing access to the rail network. During the 1960’s the Beaching cuts axed many of the unprofitable branch lines. Prior to this, you could travel to almost anywhere by rail including rural villages.
Micklegate Bar was a prominent gateway into the city. On the approach to the bar is a stretch of straight road known as Blossom Street and The Mount. Straight roads are typical for a Roman road such as this one. Today they are adorned with properties of Georgian and Victorian periods, but even in Roman times it was one of the most affluent areas of the city. Also typical to Romans is how they buried there dead alongside roads and this Roman road is no exception to the tradition. This could possibly be because they wanted the dead to hear the living going on with their every day lives.
York St Mary’s Abbey is found in York’s Museum Gardens and is situated next door to the Yorkshire Museum. It was the largest and richest Benedictine abbey in the North of England. Henry VIII had his men pull the abbey down in the Dissolution of the Monasteries during the 1500’s. This was because he wanted to redirect funds towards military purposes and some argue simply for the crown.
York Minster and Cathedral
York Minster is both a Minster and a Cathedral. The word “minster” derives from the latin word “monastarian” and the local monks would go out to teach or minister. The reason why it is also a cathedral is because it has the throne of a Bishop. It derives again from latin “cathedra” and literally means seat, of which in York is the seat of an Arch Bishop.
The Minster’s History
The minister is managed as it were, by a Dean and a Chapter. However, the term minster is used when a church is established in Anglo-Saxon times. Some well known features of the minster is its Rose Window and Chapter House that you find at the rear of the minister. It also has a wide decorated gothic nave that contains a Great East Window that is over 600 years old. It is the largest expanse of stained glass in the country. The five sisters window is located in the north transept that is 52ft high.
York has had a Christian presence since the 4th century but it is believed that it could be earlier due to missionaries sent from Rome. However, the first church on the site was a simple wooden construction built in 627 to baptise the King of Northumbria. Then a more substantial building was constructed that fell into disrepair. In 741 it was destroyed in a fire and another more impressive structure was constructed until it was damaged in 1069 by William the Conqueror. It was destroyed completely by the Danes and rebuilt yet again in 1080.
Walmgate Bar
Walmgate Bar is one of the five main gates to the City of York. Walmgate Bar (or gate) is somewhat unique as it is the most complete in the UK in the sense that it still has its barbican and its portcullis. The barbican is the structure on the outside of the gateway that trapped enemies between the gate of the bar and the gate of the barbican so that missiles could be hurled at them from the walls at the top of the Barbican. The portcullis is the iron grid gate that could be hoisted up and lowered down. The rear of the bar contains a white Elizabethan extension resting on two stone columns. The gate is a cafe and you can enjoy sustenance on the barbican itself.

York- Great Britain
York is een stad (city) en unitary authority in het noorden van Engeland, sinds 1996 tevens een unitary authority met North Yorkshire als ceremonieel graafschap.
De vestingstad ligt aan de samenvloeiing van de Ouse en de Foss. Vooral de Ouse treedt regelmatig buiten haar oevers, waardoor de stad gedeeltelijk onder water komt te staan.
In 2001 telde de stad York zelf 137.505 inwoners. De unitary authority die sinds 1996 de naam 'City of York' draagt, en waaronder ook omliggende landelijke gebieden vallen, telde in 2007 193.300 inwoners.
In de stad staat de grootste middeleeuwse kathedraal van Noord-Europa, de Minster, die beroemd is om haar gebrandschilderde ramen. De aartsbisschop van York is de op één na belangrijkste gezagsdrager in de Anglicaanse Kerk, na de aartsbisschop van Canterbury. De huidige aartsbisschop is de in Oeganda geboren John Sentamu. Het oude stadscentrum is nog ommuurd en telt vier stadspoorten.
Bij het station York is het National Railway Museum gelegen, het grootste treinmuseum van Europa. Hier staan tientallen locomotieven en treinstellen
Geschiedenis
De stad kent een lange geschiedenis. Archeologische vondsten wijzen erop dat het gebied waar nu York ligt al zeker 7000 of 8000 jaar voor Chr. werd bewoond. De stad zelf werd echter in het jaar 71 na Chr. gesticht door de Romeinen en heette aanvankelijk Eboracum. De eerste vermeldingen van de stad stammen uit 95-104 n.Chr. Voor de Romeinen was Eboracum een belangrijke militaire basis; keizer Septimius Severus overleed er in 211; 95 jaar later stierf keizer Constantius Chlorus in Eburacum, de vader van Constantijn de Grote,die daar de titel augustus kreeg.Later kwam het gebied in handen van de Angelen, en veranderde de naam van de stad in Eoferwic. In 866 werd Eoferwic veroverd door de Vikingen, die de stad Jorvik noemden. Rond het jaar 1000 raakte de naam York in gebruik

Travel blogs from Museum Gardens:
- ... Anyway, the random Roman and Norman ruins scattered about the Museum Gardens are, as you can see, quite picturesque: I entertained myself by taking self-photos ...
- ... Head down to the Museum Gardens and the decaying ruin of yet another abbey and climb to the top of the city wall ...
- ... We walked through Museum Gardens and past the Hospitium, which was built in the 14th century ...
- ... I also took a brief tour of the art gallery (not too interesting) and had lunch in the Museum Gardens, a huge public park ...
- ... Later, he toured the museum gardens which are on a downhill slide from summer color ...
- ... So, we have visited those two places as well as the museum gardens, which are really cool because you can walk through 700 year old ruins ...
- ... We then ventured to the Museum Gardens where there was Vikings training for battle ...
- ... But we did spend a good amount of time at York Minster on the way back after spending a fair amount of time in the Museum Gardens ...

York Christmas Market 2018
A brief tour of York Christmas Market 2018. It felt nice and Christmasy which some I find do not! The music was good all the way around and the quality of goods on sale was good, not the usual knitted Santa's etc! There seems to be a lot of Gin stalls this year. I would recommend the park and ride from the outlet, takes the stress out of parking and only £3.10 return, plus the shopping outlet is great!
