The remains of St Mary's Abbey in the Museum Gardens, with a display of daffodils in the foreground.
I love these attractive ruins, recording as they do some 900 years of history. There is a fascinating exhibition in the Yorkshire Museum with lots of finds from this site.
I love the displays of daffodils as well. Not only can they be seen here in the Museum Gardens, but along the banks around the city walls too. They are a wonderful sign of Spring.
I feel so grateful that I live near such beautiful places.
Lovely scene. Hard to imagine what it must have been like before ‘enery knocked it down. Part of it still exists under Theatre Royal. How huge it was.
Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are very much appreciated.
This is a huge site, but so much of it is lost. However there are some fascinating survivals. The layout of the whole church can be seen marked out in the grass of the Museum Gardens. There is also a medieval range of buildings known as Kings Manor which now houses part of York University - including the archaeology department!
excellent composition and pov

Thank you Brian. I have planned to go back for more photos in these gardens, but with current Covid 19 restrictions that may not be possible.
