York Minster is England's largest medieval cathedral and almost impossible to do justice to. It has an awesome presence that cannot fail to impress.
Uniquely the cathedral was spared the ravages of the Civil War that decimated the medieval art of most English cathedrals and churches, and it thus possesses the largest collection of medieval glass in Britain throughout most of it's vast windows.
Clock on the wall around the courtyard, containing the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

Kern's sold the store in 1957 and ceased operations in 1959; when the building was torn down in 1966, the clock was placed in storage until the 1970s. It was placed in storage again in 1998 for the construction of the Compuware Bldg., and restored to its current site in 2003.]

An inside look at the clock tower in Bangor, PA. The antique four-faced clock was manufactured by the E. Howard Clock Co. of Boston, Massachusetts, and was installed in the borough hall in 1907. In addition to being Bangor’s timepiece, the clock chimed a coded ring to alert the borough fire department as to the location of the fire. They also used the tower to hang the fire hoses after a fire to dry.
After a period of neglect when the chimes fell silent, the Slate Belt Heritage Center, under the guidance and care of Jay Albert, brought the historic clock back to life again in early 2000. The help of a generous personal donation helped Jay to single-handedly restore the faces. The clock mechanism was restored by David Morgan, former president of the Worldwide Clock Towers Association.

The Edinburgh Castle is a historic structure, with the royal castle dating back to the time of the kind David I from the 12th century. The Castle is built on a volcanic high, called the Castle Rock. The Castle was very important in the medieval ages, when there were conflicts to ensure Scottish independence from England. This building is known as the Royal Palace, the former royal apartments where the Stewart monarchs stayed. The building also houses the Stone of Scotland.
We managed to cram ourselves next to Graham and his family and shared a few laughs about the lock down. We listened intently to Jilaliyat, an exuberant and lively all-female band.
After the concert, we opted to go back to the Mezzanine for dinner and beer. Once again, the Mezzanine didn't disappoint. This time, we enjoyed their blue cheese and nut briouats, a tartine of olives with goat cheese and sundried tomatoes, hamburger and fries and cheesecake.
