A RELIC OF THE DAYS WHEN KNIGHTS WERE BOLD AND BARONS HELD THEIR SWAY—ONE OF YORK’S HISTORIC GATES.
The city of York Is noted for its historic associations. The old walls which surrounded the mediaeval town are still Intact, aud are preserved with the greatest care by the authorities a trait which is distinctly English, and an indication of one of their strongest characteristics—a reverence for the glorious past. The walls extend for a length of some two and three-quarter miles. They mainly date from the Fourteenth Century, but contain some of the foundation work laid by the Romans.
