  • Stop 1. Soldiers on Every Street Corner: the War Is Announced in York
    Stop 1. Soldiers on every street corner: the war is announced in York Stand in front of the Yorkshire Museum, on the steps looking out into the Gardens. During the First World War, newspapers were the main source of information for the public, explaining what was happening at home and abroad as well as forming the basis for pro-war propaganda. In York, the building that currently operates as the City Screen Picturehouse, later on you will see it between stops 4 and 5, was once the headquarters of the Yorkshire Herald Newspaper. In 1914 there were around 100,000 people living in York, half of the city’s current population, and York considered itself the capital of Yorkshire and the whole of the North of England. The Local newspapers did not wholly prepare the city’s inhabitants for Britain entering the war, as the Yorkshire Evening Press stated soon after war had been announced that ‘the normal man cared more about the activities of the household cat than about events abroad’. At the beginning of the 20th century the major European countries were incredibly powerful and had amassed great wealth, but competition for colonies and trade had created a European continent rife with tensions between the great powers. June 28th 1914 saw the assassination of the heir to the Austro-Hungarian Empire Arch-Duke Ferdinand and his wife Sophia while on a diplomatic trip to Sarajevo by a Yugoslav Nationalist who was fighting for his country’s independence. This triggered the chain reaction which culminated in war between the European powers.

  • The Walls but on the Rampart Underneath and the Ditch Surrounding Them
    A walk through 1,900 years of history The Bar Walls of York are the finest and most complete of any town in England. There are five main “bars” (big gateways), one postern (a small gateway) one Victorian gateway, and 45 towers. At two miles (3.4 kilometres), they are also the longest town walls in the country. Allow two hours to walk around the entire circuit. In medieval times the defence of the city relied not just on the walls but on the rampart underneath and the ditch surrounding them. The ditch, which has been filled in almost everywhere, was once 60 feet (18.3m) wide and 10 feet (3m) deep! The Walls are generally 13 feet (4m) high and 6 feet (1.8m) wide. The rampart on which they stand is up to 30 feet high (9m) and 100 feet (30m) wide and conceals the earlier defences built by Romans, Vikings and Normans. The Roman defences The Normans In AD71 the Roman 9th Legion arrived at the strategic spot where It took William The Conqueror two years to move north after his the rivers Ouse and Foss met. They quickly set about building a victory at the Battle of Hastings in 1066.

However, when William marched north to quell the potential for rebellion his advance caused such alarm that he entered the city The first defences were simple: a ditch, an embankment made of unopposed.

  • Lendal Bridge Trial – Month One (September 2013) Data Release
    Lendal Bridge Trial – Month One (September 2013) Data Release Foreword: The Lendal Bridge trial is a bold experiment to tackle city centre congestion, a problem which continues to impact on residents, businesses and visitors. The aim of the trial is to reduce the volume of traffic in the corridor between the rail station and St Leonard‟s place, enabling improvements to bus services, creating a more pleasant environment for pedestrians and cyclists, thereby attracting people into the city. In the longer term this will underpin the city centre commercial and retail economies. The assessment of the success, or otherwise, of the trial will be based on the evaluation of a wide range of data Evaluation: The Council (CYC) has appointed ITS to undertake independent evaluation of the Lendal Bridge trial. The success, or otherwise, of the trial is based on a number of Evaluation Criteria, broadly based on CYC‟s five priorities to: Create jobs and grow the economy, Get York moving, Build strong communities, Protect vulnerable people, and Protect the environment. The lead indicators are those where it might be expected to see a change (either positive or negative) during the trial period. Please note that not all of the evaluation data this is available at this early stage of the trial. Summary of Observations: Overall the traffic network has responded well to the restriction, with preliminary results from automatic counters indicating decreases in traffic volumes on some key routes against increases on others. Preliminary results from automatic traffic counters indicate increases in traffic on Foss Islands Road and Clifton Bridge, with Leeman Road and the A1237 experiencing a small decrease in traffic volumes.

  • Excavations at Rougier Street, York, 1981
    Excavations at Rougier Street, York, 1981 It is not often that there is a chance to excavate inside the Roman colonia, the civilian town. One arose, however, in spring 1981 with the proposed redevelopment of a small site between the Richard III pub and the Leedham's garage on Rougier Street, and by agreement with the architects and developers, Towngate Securities, it was decided to excavate a trench 2.50m wide and 12m long. The archaeological aims of the excavation were threefold: to try to locate a Roman colonia riverside wall; to trace the development of the river frontage; and to look for evidence of the medieval tanning industry. It has been suggested by analogy with Roman London and other towns in the Empire that the Roman colonia had a wall running parallel and adjacent to the River Ouse, but no evidence for one has as yet come to light in York. Whether this wall is found or not, however, it remains the case that very little excavation to modern standards has taken place in the colonia, and any glimpse of Roman deposits would be useful both from the point of view of learning more about its topography and recovering samples for research into its environment. The development of the river front has been glimpsed already in Trust excavation at Skeldergate and Coney Street (INTERIM vol 1 no 1 pp20-21; vol 2 no 3 pp7-11, vol 2 no 2 pp21-6) but there is still much to learn. The medieval tanning industry is, in contrast to the colonia wall, well documented.

  • Creating the Slum: Representations of Poverty in the Hungate and Walmgate Districts of York, 1875-1914
    Laura Harrison Ex Historia 61 Laura Harrison1 University of Leeds Creating the slum: representations of poverty in the Hungate and Walmgate districts of York, 1875-1914 In his first social survey of York, B. Seebohm Rowntree described the Walmgate and Hungate areas as ‘the largest poor district in the city’ comprising ‘some typical slum areas’.2 The York Medical Officer of Health condemned the small and fetid yards and alleyways that branched off the main Walmgate thoroughfare in his 1914 report, noting that ‘there are no amenities; it is an absolute slum’.3 Newspapers regularly denounced the behaviour of the area’s residents; reporting on notorious individuals and particular neighbourhoods, and in an 1892 report to the Watch Committee the Chief Constable put the case for more police officers on the account of Walmgate becoming increasingly ‘difficult to manage’.4 James Cave recalled when he was a child the police would only enter Hungate ‘in twos and threes’.5 The Hungate and Walmgate districts were the focus of social surveys and reports, they featured in complaints by sanitary inspectors and the police, and residents were prominent in court and newspaper reports. The area was repeatedly characterised as a slum, and its inhabitants as existing on the edge of acceptable living conditions and behaviour. Condemned as sanitary abominations, observers made explicit connections between the physical condition of these spaces and the moral behaviour of their 1 Laura ([email protected]) is a doctoral candidate at the University of Leeds, and recently submitted her thesis ‘Negotiating the meanings of space: leisure, courtship and the young working class of York, c.1880-1920’.
