Love this, my ancestor Sir Richard was Lord mayor of this city in the mid 1400's.

Yes I think so too! Looks like Durham Cathedral with Durham Castle on the left. View seen from the train travelling North, a journey I know very well.

You don't buy fruit and veg form grocers in York, You buy it how its been bought for thousands of years, From the farmers markets at Newgate. There are still butchers shops, one is at the end of the shambles and pretty much every street in York has a Thomas the Bakers,

I prefer the new one
speccyviking91 Says:
Wasn't that first shot of Durham?
Vortexrec Says:
I spent there the happiest days of my life! Nothing like York!
Lytton333 Says:
The last fruit and veg shop has just closed in central York.. the last butcher's shop in 2010.. only 2 bakers are left. The entire walled-centre is now directed at catering for tourists and day-trippers. More and more cafes and trinket-shops replace proper businesses. The locals find themselves marginalised to the ugly retail-parks on the orbital roads. thus creating serious traffic-problems. Some days the locals can't move in the streets for tourists.. And no end to it is in sight..

metabog Says:
The video went a little of course rambling on about Anglicanism instead of actually talking about the city.
QUEENAHIDEKINGFISHER Says:
I thought Seville in Espana(Spain) was majestic,but York on a sunny day beats Seville hands down!
homertime97 Says:
Very interesting.
gracetsoka Says:
I LIVE THERE
Sebtastical Says:
I tell you, after living in sunderland and london it really does make me proud it's my hometown, the greenery is something that looks brighter for some reason there than anywhere else.
lordhebe Says:
Well, it used to be. It was the Industrial Revolution that pushed Birmingham and Manchester to the forefront. Culturally, though, I'd argue York is still more important. And yes...I went there yesterday...it is genuinely beautiful.
neeley99 Says:
I miss York
thed0dgydancer Says:
I thought Birmingham and Manchester were considered the "Second Cities"? I'd prefer it if York was though. It's beautiful.
