The Petergate Patrol by YorkArtist's resident artist Mark Braithwaite
From The Classic York Collection
A charming scene capturing a traditional Bobby on the beat patrolling outside Scott's butchers, a once-famous shop on Low Petergate in the heart of historic York.
About Low Petergate
- Situated in the heart of ancient York, once the Via Principalis of the Roman city of Eboracum
- Derives its name from York Minster, which is dedicated to St Peter
- In York, testament to its Viking history, streets are known as "Gates" (from the Danish word for street), whilst the stone gatehouses in the city walls are "Bars"
- A quintessential York street steeped in centuries of history
About The Artwork
This nostalgic scene brings to life the era of traditional policing in York, with the familiar figure of a Bobby keeping watch over this historic thoroughfare. Look for Lucy, MJ Braithwaite's black cat trademark hidden in the artwork.
Perfect for lovers of York heritage, British history, and those who appreciate the charm of bygone days.
