Fascinating Historical York!

by poons - last update: Feb 11, 2007

One of only 2 walled cities remaining in England

Anglican Gothic York Minster from the City Walls
43 - 410AD: Roman Period
410 - 876AD: Anglo-Saxon Period
793AD: Came the Vikings (from Norway, Denmark & Sweden)
1066 - 1154AD: Norman Period

A visit to York takes you on a journey through all of the above eras, and more!
It's that blumin' flag again!

Thank you DAO & Gillybob
