We head north west up Blake Street and soon arrive at a crossroads.
Look right up Duncombe Place for a famous view of York Minster.
Crossing at the traffic lights we enter St Leonards Place. Nearly 300 feet of medieval wall between Bootham Bar and the edge of the Museum Gardens were demolished during the construction of this wide and attractive road by the City Corporation in 1839. |
About halfway up St Leonard's Place is The Theatre Royal, York.
As you pass, notice the carved heads of Hamlet, Elizabeth I, Lady Macbeth, Falstaff and Titania beneath William Shakespeare.
Just a little further down the street we find ourselves in Exhibition Square with King's Manor to our left and the City Art Gallery opposite. |
