The History of Micklegate Bar

Micklegate Bar is the most Westerly and main gate through York's walls. It was and is still used by royalty to enter the city of York. Historically it is where heads of traitors were displayed on spikes. Its architecture has had several changes to it. Also, some of the masonry used to build it dates back to Roman times.

Not luxurious - somewhat tired

A Birthday present for my partner, so was disappointed to arrive at a property described as luxurious, but definitely not. No hairdryer, light not working, no explanations as to how to use appliances including heating. Also a wall where a frame/picture had been previously been, instead the 4 adhesive stickers left on the wall. Lovely!
