  • 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. In 1068 anti-Norman sound set of defences, as the local tribe –the Brigantes – were not sentiment in the north was gathering steam around York. very friendly. 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.

  • Air Quality – Annual Status Report
    24 September 2020 Decision Session – Executive Member for Environment and Climate Change Report of the Corporate Director, Economy and Place Air Quality – Annual Status Report Executive Summary 1. The report details the latest air quality monitoring results for the city and progress on delivering the measures in York’s third Air Quality Action Plan (AQAP3) to deliver further improvements. 2. Recent air quality monitoring can be summarised as follows: There has been a general downward trend in Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) concentrations monitored across the city since 2012, although year on year improvements in NO2 have been much less pronounced over the last 2-3 years and in some areas appear to have plateaued. This clearly demonstrates the need to continue to deliver the air quality improvement measures in AQAP3. The health based annual average nitrogen dioxide (NO2) objective is still being breached at some locations in the city, including Gillygate, Holgate / Blossom Street and Rougier Street / George Hudson Street. Elevated levels of NO2, below the objective, were monitored along Nunnery Lane, Lawrence Street, Fishergate and Coppergate. NO2 concentrations in the former Salisbury Terrace and Fulford Road AQMAs are still well within health based limits. National air quality objectives for PM10 and PM2.5 are currently easily met in York. There does not appear to be any clear trend in PM10 concentrations based on monitoring over the last 8 years. The general downward trend in PM10 concentrations observed at roadside monitoring sites up to 2017 has not continued through 2018 and 2019. Concentrations of PM2.5 have generally decreased at roadside locations in recent years, although PM2.5 monitored at York’s background monitoring station have been more variable.

  • Environment and Activity in the Coppergate Area of York in the Post-Conquest Period: Draft Post-Excavation Project Design
    Reports from the Environmental Archaeology Unit, York 97/2, 22 pp. Environment and activity in the Coppergate area of York in the post-Conquest period: draft post-excavation project design by Keith Dobney, Allan Hall and Harry Kenward Summary Following assessments of the bio- and geoarchaeological potential of samples of deposits of post- Conquest date from a number of sites in the Coppergate-Piccadilly-Pavement area of York, a post- excavation project design is presented. It is proposed that, in addition to reconstruction of the implications of the data at the context and feature level, there should be emphasis on analysis of change through time (especially in the period following the Norman Conquest), of use of space, and of relationships between functional areas in this crucial area of the city.

  • 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.
