York in colour in 1950

Click on the still above to go to the British Film Institute site and let Eric Hall be your guide.

York looks fine here and I am pleased to see the sign of Pickering's bookshop in The Shambles, which was still there when I was a student.

But then my student days the city are nearer to the year this film was shot than they are to the present day.

How old we have all grown!
