York has an extensive collection of narrow and in many cases unplanned streets with buildings of many different ages all clustered together. Here we have Low Petergate, which lies roughly on the course of the Roman road the Via Principalis, one of the main thoroughfairs of the Roman city.
Nothing of Roman origin is visible, but there are Tudor, Georgian Victorian and modern buildings that can be seen in this scene.
There are also a few people around, in contrast to my shot of a couple of weeks ago when lockdown was at it's strongest. That shot was taken from almost the same position but looking in the opposite direction - http://365project.org/fishers/365/2020-05-07 Hopefully life is beginning to return a little more towards normal.
Gorgeous shot and pov. Beautiful buildings. Alas many Georgian and Victorian houses in Sliema, my place of birth and which I frequent (except at this particular time) have been pulled down to build apartment blocks.
Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are very much appreciated.
It was nice to see a few more people around the city centre compared with my trip a few weeks ago, but it is still quiet enough for people to effectively social distance, which is still so important.

Yes indeed, more people, but not so many that social distancing becomes difficult.
