First look at our new merchant adventurer mockup. The eagle eyed amongst you will spot that Foss Bridge is yet to be built (and ouse bridge for that matter) . . but the hall is shown in its original context – the modern street of picadilly wasn’t built until the 20th century, and although details are scarce its thought there was a busy street underneath it – having good connections to the river and with a pleasant outlook towards the castle. Also now up and running – the ‘fire’ in All Saints church (pavement) which would have guided people lost in the forests towards York, a very crude medieval sat nav!
