The Postern Gate development to the southeast of the city centre. The appartment, on Terry* Avenue, block was an old flour warehouse.
At its highest point, the River Ouse floods up to the top of the walls (see note) or to just below the lowest windows of the appartment block on the left. The houseboat's OK though!
[* as in "Terry's Chocolate" (chocolate oranges, etc.) now sadly (well) made in Poland but leaving another famous landmark, the Terry's factory, empty and up for grabs in the property market... It'll be Nestle/Rowntree next!]

-2'C; damp and foggy but otherwise a great morning for a walk ;~)
York Minster was built between the 12th and the 15th Century and is the largest Gothic church in England. It is 524 feet (160m) long and 249 feet (76m) wide. The height from floor to vault is over 90 feet (27m).The twin west towers are about 184 feet (56m) high. Constructed on the site of a Norman Cathedral, which was itself built on an earlier Roman Fortress.
Today the clouds are down to about 50m !
