This book is different from other books on York. Contained within its pages are hugely appealing photographic glimpses of how people lived, worked and played in the city a century ago, images full of human history, and so much more than the usual street scenes.All of life is here: children, soldiers, blacksmiths, revellers, shopkeepers, families, and some that delight in their mystery!But all is revealed by the authors in the rich captions accompanying each picture, allowing us to view and understand York as never before.
