„Lendal tower and bridge York“

aus der Galerie von Robert Gipson
Über dieses Bild:

The historic Lendal tower and Lendal bridge in the city of York in the county of Yorkshire, England. Lendal Tower has stood next to the River Ouse since about 1300.
It was originally part of the Citys defences. In medieval times a great iron chain which was stored in the tower was pulled across the river to Barker Tower on the opposite bank.
The chain was a barrier to boats on the river, protecting the city in times of trouble and enabling tolls to be charged for entry.
