The Shambles, York, narrows away from you between leaning brick and timber frontages, seen from street level with a weathered brick wall filling the left foreground. Blank hanging signs jut overhead, tall sash windows and wide shop windows line both sides, and a cobbled channel runs down the middle of pale flagstones. Loose watercolour washes in ochre, brick red, slate blue and soft green, with fine ink lines and a clouded sky.
About The Shambles
The Shambles is a narrow historic street in York, running from Newgate at its north end to Pavement at its south. Many of its buildings are timber-framed, with jettied upper floors that jut out over the street by several feet, and some date from the 14th century. It was once called the "Great Flesh Shambles", a name that recalls its past as the street of the butchers. The word comes from the Old English sċeamol, a bench or stall. In 1885 there were thirty-one butchers' shops along it. None are left today.
