The Shambles by YorkArtist's resident artist Mark Braithwaite
From The Classic York Collection
The Shambles is one of the best preserved medieval street in the world; this narrow street with its overhanging buildings has to be the most picturesque streets in the city of York. You can shake hands with your neighbour from the uppermost windows across the narrowest part of the street!
Originally the street of butchers, many shops still have their old meat hooks outside, although there hasn't been a butcher on the Shambles in decades!
The original picture was painted in acrylic, on canvas in 1998.
