    Someone sent me this picture of a shopping street in the centre of York.
    It is known as The Shambles

    Some of the structures may have changed a bit, as York was heavily bombed in just 90 minutes in 1942.
    84 tonnes of bombs were dropped killing 90 civilians and destroying 9500 houses and buildings.

    I just love the children walking up the street . It must be wonderful to live in a place so rich in history.

    Wonderful images Davey.
    We spent time in London & Oxford last month-a truly awesome country that doesn't preserve it's food w/sugar & embalming fluid (red dye no. 7).
    The damn stuff they find mudlarking for free on the public beaches is enough to put most of our thrift stores to shame.
    I'd be there or the Continent in a shot if we weren't enslaved to Medicare.
