Gert and Henry's,(Tudor Period Building), York

Continuing my fondness for period buildings,this timber framed beauty dates from the 1600's and is situated in Jubbergate, part of York's market area.

The site has been a restaurant since 1929 and once again serves classic English food and is well worth a visit.

@netkonnexion @srechic @purplehaze12 Thank you. Its a lovely building and the area is usually very busy and difficult to get a clear shot. Fortunately the market had been moved that day to Parliament Street. Katharine

@padlock That would be interesting to try. I'll ask the resident expert what to use to achieve that effect. Katharine
