York's narrow streets are filled with delivery vehicles each morning, before the pedestrian zone restrictions come into effect at 10:30am. This can result in considerable congestion, some bad tempered exchanges and the occasional accident.
Here in Stonegate, this lorry has run slightly onto the pavement, probably to pass a vehicle that was parked on the other side of the road, and it has struck the attractive first floor bay window.
Police closed off the road while a structural engineer checked the safety of the building. In this shot two temporary supports have been placed below the window to hold it in place, and shortly after this the lorry was removed, exposing quite a hole in the wall immediately below the window.
Oh dear, great shot.
Apologies for not commenting recently but there was entertainment every evening; wifi was sporadic in Dorset and the clutch on my car died an honourable death! All back to normal for. Few days so time to catch up.
Thank you Lizzy, nice to hear from you! As you can see, it's quite a while since we have posted. Our momentum seems to have gone, although I'm still taking lots of photos. We are all well, and keeping very busy. How are things with you?
