Along Petergate

by MJ Braithwaite

In the city of York, testament to its Viking history, many of the streets are known as "Gates" (from the Danish word for street), and the stone gatehouses in the city walls are "Bars".

Low Petergate derives its name from the Minster, which is dedicated to St. Peter. Situated in the heart of the ancient city of York, it was once the Via Principalis of the Roman city of Eboracum.

The original was painted, in acrylic on canvas, in 2001. Many of the figures are based on real people - local shopkeepers and buskers who can be seen regularly on this street. The soldier at the front is a friend from 2 Signal Regiment who also features in the Leeman Road picture; his wife worked at the time on Low Petergate.

Look for Lucy, M.J. Braithwaite's black cat trademark, who is hiding in this picture!
