This website started eight years ago, in 2004.
It's an independent, personal website and has no connection to the recently announced 'York 800' project, also called York Stories.
After a reorganisation of this site's pages - around 400 of them - early in 2012, it's roughly divided into these sections:
The earliest part of the site - around 100 pages - is 'York walks', covering my wanderings with a digital camera in 2004. Read more >
Most of the website content is in categories under 'Aspects of York' - compiled between the end of 2004, and continuing. More >
'Beyond York' includes churches, memorials, Second World War airfields, walks in various Yorkshire landscapes, and cycle rides to nearby villages. More >
The 'News & Views' section was added in late 2011. Sometimes I have words and no pictures, sometimes pictures and no words. Or questions, or things I want to add from elsewhere, so this section is for those things. It's also open for your comments, memories, and thoughts about York. More >
I've also added a section called 'Tree Watch' - trying to draw people's attention to planning applications to fell trees in local conservation areas, and those which are the subject of Tree Preservation Orders.
