York Minster and the city walls, 1844. Creator: Unknown
York Minster and the city walls, 1844. The fourteenth annual meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science is now assembled in the ancient city of York, in which place, the public will remember, the first meeting of the Association was held. The locality is an admirable one for the purpose, being well suited in relation to the interests of many important counties, and admirably calculated to furnish abundant and instructive amusement to the visitors. Indeed, few spots equal it in antiquarian or geological interest. Our heading displays a general view of York, combined with one of the venerable City gates; the Minster; the Ruins of St. Mary s; the old walls.... From " Illustrated London News", 1844, Vol V

The image was taken during the fourteenth annual meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, which took place in this ancient city. It is worth noting that York holds a special significance as it hosted the first-ever meeting of this prestigious association. The photograph showcases a panoramic view of York, highlighting its architectural marvels such as the majestic Minster, St. Mary's Ruins, and one of its venerable city gates. These structures stand as testaments to centuries of history and religious devotion. York's allure extends beyond its historical charm; it also offers an ideal setting for both intellectual pursuits and leisurely exploration. Its location makes it easily accessible to many important counties while providing ample opportunities for visitors to immerse themselves in antiquarian studies or delve into geological wonders.
