Formerly,... 'Mad Alice lane'.... York.. U.K.

Lovely street scene.

Cheers'' Jaap'... keep well and good wishes too - from > Dj.

I bet Mad Alice was one of these women who got persecuted for crimes they did not commit...
And who is Lund?

That probably is true Nicolas'... as were witches, they were cruel times back then,.. and Lund ? yes who knows ? I would guess a family name from the city of old,..// Cheers'' from > Dj.

wonderful

Happy wednesday!

Thanks Annemarie,... a ''Good and happy'' wednesday to you too / Good wishes from Dj.

J'aime beaucoup la façade de cette galerie d'art !

Thank you Annick.. and quality work in there too - Best wishes to you - from David J.

A lovely shot of old York David.

Mad Alice didn't even have to be a real person, she could've been a "ghost" wandering the lane, given peoples beliefs back a while.

Thats' true yes , there are some strange tales going around Ye' Olde' cities ,..and York is a prime example for ghost walks,.. and stories,.. Cheers'' Maggs and keep well - from Dj.

A well composed and exposed street scene David. The shop front has a wonderful display of paintings and prints, which are best viewed large. I wonder why they changed the name - I think Mad Alice Lane is brilliant!

If it was changed to make it more PC........then it makes no sense to show the original name on the sign surely?

Anyway............I really like this one!

Thanks Keith for your comments,.. yes why show the former name,.. reminds me of the story of ''Archers way'' ,.Loughborough,. which was changed from,... ''Butthole Lane'' .... cor blimey !
Keep well - and Cheers'' from Dj.

I'm not even going to ask about the history of that one! :-)))

Ha' ha'.. Gotcha Keith,.. yes we'll give that one a swerve eh '...

Qué precioso local!, recuerdo York como una ciudad preciosa. ¡Qué a gusto me pasearía por sus calles y visitaría estas galerias de arte!.
Estoy de acuerdo con Nicolás acerca de "Alicia la loca", hasta no hace nada, toda mujer con carácter y dispuesta a saltarse las convenciones sociales, y tener opinión propia, era una loca y/o ser peligroso que había que controlar y denigrar. La sangre se ha derramado con demasiada soltura en todos los tiempos y lugares, los seres humanos somos el animal más peligroso para nuestra propia especie, la crueldad se nos escapa con demasiada frecuencia.

Thanks Marije,.. your comment above is very true,.. and something to think about,. I'm pleased that you know and enjoyed the city in the past,.. it sure does have the history and character,.. // Best wishes and Cheers''.. from > Dj.

A beautiful shop and the tour would be right up my street!
Great shot David.
