I was also a student there in the 90s - I agree re a place to live.I was a student in York 90’s loved going to Bootham crescent fine old ground & York is a wonderful place to live as well. Hopefully their new home will bring them success on the pitch and they can get back one day soon into the football league.
Class, love to hear & see young kids following their home town team & talking passionately above their club
My first York archaeology job was to dig beneath the walls to assess the foundations. It was January and I had to pickaxe through snow and ice and loads of mud to find the wall foundations were precariously sitting in sand and there weren't many foundation stones either.I agree , I loved the walls when I was a kid. Shame that they knocked so much down in the past, but I suppose that's still happening now, like the signal box.
York then had b industry of course and that's why my brother moved down there. Now....
Shocking that they've lasted so long, don't make them like they used to..My first York archaeology job was to dig beneath the walls to assess the foundations.
