    York is Englands finest example of a medieval town, so well preserved that it has become one of the worlds most interesting historic cities, with a rich mix of activities for the visitor. This fortified town is surrounded by high stone walls that protected it from attackers in the past and then from modernization. The walls, dating to the Middle Ages and still 95 percent intact, are nearly three miles long, making it the nations longest continuous stretch of medieval fortifications. Today York is a lively place filled with culture, entertainment, shops, characters, legends and fine restaurants. The rich history will come to life in your visit because many of the old forts, palaces, churches and streets are preserved just as they were centuries ago, and several museums help tell the long story.

    Very enjoyable. Born in York 1951, left in 1972 for America and miss the old place very much. As kids, my friend and i used to love playing on the City Walls...we'd climb up on the outside and get up on the battlements like invading warriors. The big hill with Cliffords Tower...we would roll down...and down..and down. Great city.

    Hello David, my Father was at Park Grove but that was many years ago, He would have been about 94 now. My brother and I were are Beckfield and later he went to Manor School. So it must have been some other Dalbys. We are well into our 60's :-)

    York ultimately comes from Old English Eofrwic which means 'pig trading-place'. Its highly unlikely that a centre as important as York and in continuous habitation would have been renamed by the Anglo-Saxons from the British/Romanised Ebaruc/Eboracum. It might have had a 'ceastre' or 'burh' added but not a new name. The similarity of the Old English to the sub-Roman would suggest the name was altered to something more meaningful, a bit like Leghorn or Wipers.

    Very well put together, and that from a Yorkshireman is a great compliment. Well done.

    Another name for York (Jorvic) was Eboracum (Roman). This is why we still have Ebor Races at our prestigious racecourse.

    What year was this made? It looks like the late 1980s/early 1990s.

    • @Robert_Manners
      @Robert_Manners 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      The centre lines in the middle of the station are not present in the introduction so it can't be the late 1980's. So I would reason mid 1990's.

    Oh please,just googling Eboracum shows that you are entirely wrong,why post comments when you haven't a clue what you are talking about.
