TUESDAY-Historic York

HISTORIC YORK. WALLED CITY FORTRESS OF KINGS AND LOTS OF CHURCHES.








There you go, that's pretty much the deal with York. Here's some cool pictures of the walls and churches.


Cool note on the picture of the church farther down the page: that little door under the windows on this church? That's called the devil's door. They'd open it so the devil would be able to quickly leave the child during a christening. Seems like the devil could come in that way too, but I don't fully understand all the boogie boogie of the catholic church. Maybe the priest put some kind of one-way hex on it or something like that.















By the way, remember those pictures of businesses I put in yesterday's post? The ones with dirty names? Well, when I found out the big bell in York Minster Church was called "Big Peter" by the locals, all the businesses with names like this one started to make sense.











You can make up your own double entendre about this street name. It also happens to be the longest street name and the shortest street in York
