For the fans of Harry Potter, the Shambles in York have become something of an attraction, with three Harry Potter themed shops. This is the market entrance to one of those shops, The Shop That Must Not Be Named. I love the broom park!
This was my first trip out for 9 days. Both Katharine and I are classed as vulnerable, due to medical issues, when it comes to the Covid 19 pandemic, so we are trying to stay at home as much as possible.
Thank you all for your positive responses to our archive photos of recent days. It's quite likely we will have to resort to the archive again in the coming days as pandemic restrictions become tighter.
Lovely shot. I make my escape by walkies and looking for butterflies, found at least 15 today. I think if I'm under house arrest (old & asthma) I'll end up in The Retreat within 2 days.
Nice Photo - Glad you finally ventured out to get fresh air - Here in Toronto Canada we live by a ravine and plan to take a walk every day, especially with spring around the corner and weather is warming up. unfortunately I guess we'll have to put up with social distancing for a while yet.
Beautiful shot and a very charming shop. A friend of mine visited York some years ago and she brought a book about the Shambles - it was very interesting. We, too are staying home because of the pandemic; we haven't been out for almost a week now.
Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are very much appreciated.
It's amazing how quiet York city centre has become. There are many locations where photography is a challenge with the masses of tourists, but not any more. The quiet city centre was an enjoyable change.
Stay save and well.Take good care of yourself.
