York’s Hidden Treasures Project
Coming in Autumn 2026
(hopefully)
I am thrilled to report that The History Press has commissioned me to write a book on some of the lesser-known spaces and places in York. It’s neither a history of York nor a travel guide, but an examination of the city’s living history, showing how past, present and future blend so beautifully here.
Lots of scaffolding!
A lot of the buildings I hope to use in the book are being renovated right now. Fortunately, the river is still lovely.
Hidden passages
As I explore York on my photo walks for the book, I am always charmed by the tiny passing-places that open up on nearly every street. I made it my mission to explore them all, and found some things I never knew existed.
Tiny problem
As you may be able to tell from the arm that popped up into this photo of the Judge’s Lodging just as I took the shot, tourists can be a problem. I intend to start VERY early in the morning next time.
