Was a much warmer day today while visiting York. I walked down Shamble Street, bought a pork pie and later found a pub to try a half pint of an English brewery.

More details and photos later. We have a much earlier start tomorrow.

Here is a shot of the road called Shambles in York.  In the past it was the street in which the butchers of the town setup shop, because the road slants downward.  This allowed for the bi-products of butchering to flow down the street away from the shops.  In the second picture you see that many of the wooden support beams are curved.  This is because the wood used to build the city of York came from the British Navy as ships became decommissioned.
