York

York is a very foot-friendly old city

I have put a lot of money into bookstores; at this
one I finally found a bargain: Julian Copes' out-of-print
Modern Antiquarian for 13 quid.

Constantine was at York (don't ask me) when he was named Emperor

Porta Principalis Dextra: the old Roman northwest gate;
York is what became of Jorvik, after the Vikings settled
here in the 10th century

River and wall

Sic transit gloria mondi: centuries ago, an important bridge toll-house;
today, a sandwich shoppe
