A wonderful weekend in York one of my favourite places in the whole world. I lived here for 5 years and spent regular holidays with family here staying with Aunts and Uncles.

This is the first time I have been down this snickleway and behold it’s treasures

Lady Peckett's Yard is a medieval alley, or snickleway, linking Pavement and Fossgate in the heart of historic York. The atmospheric alley is reminiscent of Diagon Alley in the Harry Potter films - without the wizards. It is formed from two medieval passages meeting at right angles, Bacus Gail and Trichour Gail, meaning Bakehouse Lane and Cheat's Lane respectively.
Fantastic capture of a magical place
