In ancient times, York was granted a Charter to hold a market and the tradition of an open market continues to this day. Nowadays the market is called Newgate Market and occupies a central position near The Shambles. It has over a hundred stalls selling fruit and vegetables, fish, meat and other goods (fabrics, haberdashery, you name it and you can probably find it!) Like any market, it is full of colour and life and, set against the backdrop of York's medieval buildings, it is a really interesting area to explore.
Recently, you've been in search of colour. Well, you've certainly found some, here. And, I can smell the fruit and veg. Lovely.
