I couldn't resist including this Yorkshire themed Snook in our project, with its examples of Yorkshire dialect and Yorkshire locations, though I think it rather a shame that there are no white roses to be seen, since the white rose is a symbol of Yorkshire.
This is located in the grounds of Middletons Hotel. They are great supporters of events in York. Earlier this year they were hosts to four ice sculptures during the ice trail. It is good to see businesses giving their support to events.
Sadly, not everyone has been kind to the Snooks, with two city centre ones having been damaged, and now taken away for repair. Hopefully they will be back in place quite soon.
This seems to be a great project and I'm sure it must be even better for people who know the area well and have the local knowledge to appreciate the details.
Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are very much appreciated.
I still need to hunt down the last few of the Snooks for photos, and Katharine hasn't seen any of them yet, so I suspect that quite soon we might be tourists in our own city again! Hopefully when the Snook Trail ends in late April, lots of money will be raised for St Leonards Hospice when they are auctioned off.

Thank you Junan. Katharine and I had a walk yesterday, it was the first time she had seen them, and we both took a lot more photos.
