Description
Curiosities of York is a unique and fascinating guide to the city's lesser-known treasures. This discursive and idiosyncratic A to Z explores the street furniture and oddities that are easily overlooked when wandering through York's streets. From its labyrinthine snickelways to its twenty medieval churches, the city is full of hidden gems waiting to be discovered. Father-and-son team David and Ed Brandon take readers on a journey through the city's history, uncovering stories of its most infamous residents, including Dick Turpin and Guy Fawkes. Along the way, they encounter a range of characters, from the enigmatic Minerva to the infamous Frankie Howerd. Illustrated with a selection of artful black-and-white photographs, this book offers a fresh perspective on a beloved city. With its wealth of unexpected treasures, Curiosities of York is a must-have for anyone looking to explore the city's hidden corners.
