[Leica] More of York - a walk around the city centre

[r.s.taylor at comcast.net (Richard Taylor)]

I had no idea those gardens were there.  I feel like I missed out, but  
then I only had a few hours in York on my last trip over so maybe it's  
not surprising I missed out on some interesting stuff.  Thanks for  
posting this series.  It's brought back some happy memories.

Regards,

Dick
