This shot is taken inside what was the walled enclave of St Mary’s Abbey and shows the interior of one of the interval towers on the section of the wall south-east of St Mary’s Tower. Bootham, historically a major route into the city, runs along the opposite side of this part of the enclave walls.
Immediately behind where I’m stood is the city art gallery, and within this tower are two sculptures which formed part of a larger exhibition in the grounds to the rear of the art gallery. I’m not sure why these two have been left here, unless someone didn’t count the sculptures when they were put on display and when they were collected in!
Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are very much appreciated.
It seems I was wrong to associate these two sculptures with the rest of the sculptures put on display in 2019. All the others were by Michael Lyons, while these two were by Valerie Fox, so probably just co-incidence that I found them at the same time.
There is an alley at the right hand side of the art gallery takes you past these. If you continue to the back of the art gallery there is a large grassed area which often has sculpture displays, although there isn't one at the moment. Continue a little further and you are in the edible garden, a fascinating selection of plants and flowers. The path on the left of this garden leads through into the Museum Gardens proper, near where the bowling greens used to be. The changes in this area have created attractive new features.

More about these sculptures in my next post.

For me this is what happens with almost anything I try to repair, not just flat pack furniture!

Thank you Nina!
