We take a walk down Shambles in the heart of the historic City Of York England.
Although none of the original shop-fronts have survived from medieval times, some properties still have exterior wooden shelves, reminders of when cuts of meat were served from the open windows.

The Shambles (officially known as just Shambles) is an old street in York, England, with overhanging timber-framed buildings, some dating back as far as the fourteenth century. It was once known as The Great Flesh Shambles, probably from the Anglo-Saxon Fleshammels (literally 'flesh-shelves'), the word for the shelves that butchers used to display their meat. As recently as 1872 twenty-five butchers' shops were located along the street, but now none remain.

The street was made narrow by design to keep the meat out of direct sunlight but you can readily imagine the Shambles packed with people and awash with offal and discarded bones.

Today, the beautiful old buildings have been restored and now house cheerful cafes, quirky boutiques and even a coin & stamp dealer. The unique beauty of The Shambles has been recognised and awarded the title of the most picturesque street in Britain in the Google Street View Awards.

York’s most famous shopping street. Once lined with Butchers’ shops, today the smells are rather more pleasant with aromas from the chocolate, fudge and sweet shops, clothes and acessories and gift shops.

If you are looking for things to do in York England then you simply must pay a visit to The Shambles street. It's like stepping back in time!

With its cobbled streets and overhanding buildings, Shambles is believed to have been the inspiration behind Diagon Alley from the movie adptation of the Harry Potter series. York has now become known as a hot spot for Harry Potter fans to come and see the "Diagon Alley". They will now be able to find several magical shops dotted along the street including The Shop That Must Not Be Named, World of Wizardry and The Boy Wizard. You can also mix your own "potions" and see a lego Hogwarts at The Potions Cauldron at Shambles 9 3/4.

When in York visiting the Shambles is a must. ‘The Shambles’ is sometimes used as a general term for the maze of twisting, narrow lanes which make York so charming. At its heart is the lane actually called the Shambles, arguably the best preserved medieval street in the world. It was mentioned in the Doomsday Book of William the Conqueror in 1086. Many of the buildings on the street today date back to the late fourteenth and fifteenth century (around 1350-1475).

I really hope you enjoy this walk up Shambles and that it helps you if you are visiting York England.
