There are many interesting and educational things that could be written about York. The ancient Roman City once called Eboracum is a delightful city which benefits mostly from its beautiful surroundings, ancient architecture, iconic global landmarks and the tourists these features bring to the North Yorkshire Capital. In fact, York, or Eboracum, which was founded in 71 AD, was once England’s capital city. Or to be more precise it was the Capital of the Roman province of Britannia Inferior. Once the Romans had built the empire in the North, Emperors such as Hadrian held Court in the city.
The City of York is surrounded by substantial limestone walls. The Romans first built their walls in 71 AD. However, by the time the Danes took charge of the city in 867 the Roman walls and defences were in disrepair. The Vikings set too in rebuilding the walls and these are the walls we know now.
The City of York has two rivers running through it, The Foss and the Ouse. The Ouse is the larger of the rivers and will often flood the buildings each winter that sit on the riverbanks in the city centre. The various landmarks in York include the Shambles, probably the most famous street in England. Other landmarks also include Clifford’s Tower, an old courthouse and prison. Also, let’s not forget York Minster, a substantial building that can be seen for miles around in the middle of the Vale of York.
Being an old city it has seen many executions, one of the more famous being that of Dick Turpin who was found guilty of Horse theft. On Saturday the 7th April, he was taken from the York castle’s condemned cell and driven in a horse drawn cart through the imposing gateway of the castle and along Castlegate. Crowds would line the route as they made their way over Ouse Bridge, the only road bridge across the river at that time. Along Ousegate and continuing up the steep slope of Micklegate, they would have driven through Micklegate bar and onto Blossom Street, The Mount, and finally to the Knavesmire, the site of the gallows.
On a lighter note if you ever fancy a day at the Races, the York Knavesmire is now a famous racecourse home to some of the worlds biggest horse racing meetings and prizes. Or, if football is more your thing, York City, also known as the Minstermen, are always worth a watch on a Saturday afternoon.
