When this was taken it was called the "Brief Encounter Restaurant" after the old movie. I liked this, but it is now called The Mallard Cafe, bad change I think.
The carriages on the left here can be seen on the left on the picture in my first comment box.
The museum has more eating options including a fine dining carriage with service.

Famous medieval street in York, England.
The Shambles is one of the best-preserved medieval shopping streets in Europe. Although none of the original shop-fronts have survived from medieval times, some properties still have exterior wooden shelves, reminders of when cuts of meat were served from the open windows. The street was made narrow by design to keep the meat out of direct sunlight but you can readily imagine the Shambles packed with people and awash with offal and discarded bones. Today, the beautiful old buildings have been restored and now house cheerful cafes, quirky boutiques and even a coin & stamp dealer. The unique beauty of The Shambles has been recognised and awarded the title of the most picturesque street in Britain in the Google Street View Awards.
York’s most famous shopping street. Once lined with Butchers’ shops, today the smells are rather more pleasant with aromas from the Monkbar Chocolatiers and John Bull Fudge Shop or the enticing smell of leather from Cox of Yorkshire. Whilst on this picturesque street why not explore the unique jewellery shops on offer, including Lily Shambles and admire the unique collection of jewellery on display from around the world.

No visit to York would be complete without a walk around the City Walls.
York's city center is surrounded by historic walls, which are free to access on foot throughout the year.
Around 2 miles long, the beautifully preserved walls are the longest medieval town walls in England.
"No visit to York would be complete without a walk around the City Walls. At 3.4 kilometres long, the beautifully preserved walls are the longest medieval town walls in England. About 2.5 million people walk along all or part of the City walls each year, enjoying some amazing views. The completion of the entire circuit will take approximately 2 hours. There are five main bars or gateways, one Victorian gateway, one postern (a small gateway) and 45 towers. The walls weigh approximately 100,000 metric tonnes." - visityork.org.uk
Not the best of light or weather for a stroll along York Wall but we can't always choose our timings..
Happy Bench Monday!
Is one of the most beautiful cities I have visited in England!
I had the chance to capture this magnificent sunset from its beautiful public gardens which are scattered with roman and medieval ruins all over the place!
Which is it? Find out here
I reached my 30.000 views some days ago as well!! Thank you all!! xxx
York minster is an incredible building and it's ridiculous that I've lived in York 10 years before stepping inside!
This is the Great East Window and it truly is magnificent, both in terms of the intricacy of the glass and also the sheer scale. It's the largest piece of Medieval stained glass in the country and depicts "the beginning and end of all things".
Every one of the 311 individual panels, of 600 year old glass, has been painstakingly restored. It's taken 12 years, cost a few bob and the result is outstanding.
There are so many elements involved in an enjoyable horse race, from the venue, to the odds, to the horse racing tips, to the prestige. One thing, however, that is associated with all the famed races around the world, is extraordinary fashion.
Race-day fashion has evolved to the point where it acts as a kind of sub-plot to the race itself. On the day I visited the York Racecourse, a fine summer's day gave everyone the opportunity to display their finery in varying degrees of colour and subtlety.

Summer had finally arrived, and the ladies of York embraced the temperatures whole heartedly! A lot of the well-dressed gentlemen in suits were looking quite flustered in the midday sunshine, but the fairer sexes who were clad in dresses suffered from no such perspiration.
The flawless lush green grass of the racecourse invites visitors to spreadeagle themselves on its verdant slopes as they enjoy a sedate break waiting for the next race to begin.
In a departure from standard FTR livery First York 19002 now carries this all over advertising livery for Visit York. Pictured on Station Road, York this Wright Streetcar bodied Volvo B7LA is operating FTR route 4 to the University.
The origins of horse racing stretch back to the 1500s when British aristocracy developed the tradition, using it as a social occasion and opportunity to mingle in high society. As such, racing events all had an incredibly strict dress code so as to maintain the royal tone of the events.
In recent years, elements of fashion such as 'fascinators' (ribboned adornments on hats) have become prevalent. Whilst once considered the height of sophistication, many people sport increasingly weird and wonderful fascinators which has led to the garments recently being banned at Royal Ascot races. I didn't see any particularly outrageous examples at York, however, and thought that these three women made an elegant trio.
A charming girl by the name of Sophie, who was sporting a Drew Barrymore grin and a suitably striking outfit to match it.
Vivacious personalities and eyebrow-raising fashion is in abundant supply for those attending a day at the York racetrack.
The drama of a crowd during a race is palpable. Dreams are won and lost as the horses whirl past onlookers, deciding the fates of hundreds of thousands of pounds in a heartbeat. A tense ripple passes through onlookers as people stand up in unison to watch the riders who will make or break their fortunes.

Shades and suncream were the order of the day, as temperatures climbed towards thirty celcius and the people of Yorkshire soaked up those long-awaited rays.

The bright sunshine made for ideal lighting conditions on this particular day, and the conveniently stylish populace of York offered many portrait opportunities at the racetrack.
These three friends had arrived early and secured a prime table, amid the audience area directly in front of the stand, with a great view of the racetrack at the epicentre of the action.

This rowdy gang of guys and gals loved the camera and conveniently arranged themselves into a pose without any prompting! I really enjoy photographing random folks on days like this one - the camera is an excellent social prop, which lets you meet all sorts of people without needing an excuse to formally introduce yourself.
