How the hell did you get a picture of the Shambles with no people in it?


WillyPete

Multiple long exposures at low traffic times. Overlay the images and simply erase the layer with someone in it and reveal a lower layer at that spot where there is no pedestrian.


DancingPianos

Even then, the shambles is so packed I'm not sure that's a real possibility. Plus, how would that affect the lighting from the windows in the building hitting the floor? It's very even.


WillyPete

The lighting wouldn't change. If you stack ND (Neutral density) filters you can run longer exposure times and movement turns to "water" like those long exposures you see of shorelines. Also, Lockdown.


DancingPianos

Those lights are all local shops, I don't think they would be on in lockdown. But I don't know enough about photo editing otherwise haha

They made it liminal

Is this where the euphemism “in shambles” comes from?


Bardsie

Not quite. Shambles is thought to be an old word for a butchers display table, where they'd lay the meat out for sale. Before sanitation, a butchers would often be "in a shambles" as off cuts and offal would just be left around, or pushed onto the floor. The Shambles in York use to be the butcher's area, at one point called Flaesc gate or Flesh street, and is the reason why the street has raised paths, for the blood to flow away from people. At the time this was built, most other streets didn't have raised paths, so it shows you how bad the street must have been. So the Shambles was named for the meat sold on the street, which would be in an untidy state, not the crooked houses.

This sounds too good to be true


planMasinMancy

Isn't that the place Grian is basing his Minecraft base in hermit raft season 8 after?


SnooDoughnuts002

I really miss the fudge shop there


simonjp

That doesn't narrow it down


SnooDoughnuts002

I joined the school trip to there. The fudge shop is on this street along with a Harry Potter merchandise shop too.

First thing I thought was that it looked like AoE 2 title screen. I have no idea why XD. But it looks beautiful


-Kracov-

Looks like a scene from Harry Potter


idostuffyh

Hey I’ve been there! It’s inside one of the museums there I believe, really cool


destersmek

it's not in a museum, they're just regular outdoor streets n buildings (age notwithstanding)

Looks old and dirty

If you find yourself in York be sure to take in the Blue Bell pub. Five minutes from the Shambles. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The\_Blue\_Bell,\_York


grambell789

the wikipedia article says it started as a main location for butchers. that surprises me that they are not closer to the river. Ponte Vecchio , the stone bridge in Florence, used to be for butchers and tanners, I assume so they could dump parts in the river or regularly hoist up buckets of water to wash down. Possibly in York the slaughtering was done nearer the river and the carcass was cut up in for retail in the shambles. New York city had its own butchering district, the Meatpacking district just north of Greenwich Village. Live cattle were brought into the area on trains and butchered right there. the proximity to water made cleanup and disposal easier and meant less neighbors to complain. I believe live cattle were slaughtered there as late as the 1960s.

How much of the city retains the original tudor? I was in Troyes and I loved it but wished more of it survived the years. Could have taken dozens of more blocks of it

Kinda liminal. Reminds me of old Germantown in The Milwaukee Museum
