Georgian York, 1800
York in 1800 is a prosperous Georgian provincial city where the medieval Minster towers over tightly packed brick and timber houses and the sound of horses and sedan chairs fills the streets. The walk moves from the river and raceground into the city, passing coaching inns on Micklegate, the Assembly Rooms and Fairfax House, finishing at a broad riverside view beneath the Minster's silhouette.
35 scenes — 22 streets, squares and views, 13 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of York as it stood in 1800 (“History of York”).
