In conjunction with the York International Shakespeare Festival, our cafe is currently displaying an 'Images of Othello' exhibition featuring an array of depictions of Shakespeare's tragic character over the years. Call in and see the displays.

#HereForYou

Yesterday we asked if you could recognise this street... It's The Shambles of course!

📷 The first picture was taken c.1895.

📷 Look closely in the second picture and you can see the many butchers shops that lined the Shambles, taken sometime in 1930s.
