York - potential capital of the north

by Britannia2 - last update: Jan 9, 2008

Old town/new town

York
Some years ago there was some speculation that the government would devolve some power from London to provincial centres and York was tipped to become the capital of the north of England.
A good choice - it has a good mix of the old and the new and is one of the finest cities in the north of England.
I get to work here reasonably often and these pages will evolve over the next year or so on days working in York.

 Your desc pic of York is worrying to me - it reminds me of Blackpool - maybe i will go and spend a night in Reeth, Yorkshire - i had many a happy nights doing the Wainwrights c2c walk - nice country pubs

 An excellent page! Do you know if there will be a maze in 2008?

 A fabulous page on York. Wish I'd had those restaurant tips whenI was there because I found it very expensive. Beautiful photos as well. Most enjoyable :))
