A new shop has opened on The Shambles, a traditional pie and sausage shop.This is quite in keeping with the origins of the street, a street of butchers. Shambles are the off cuts of meat trimmed from joints and would have been made into pies or sausages.
I rather liked the sign and the pies I could see looked every bit as good. Sadly I didn't have time to buy one.
@busylady thank you. One or two old fashioned signs like this one are starting to appear in York and give a further historical feel to the city. Katharine
