Recognise this part of York & the restaurant there today?

The pub on the left is a bit of a giveaway - and the shape of the street hasn't changed much over the years.

Our photo today shows The Woolpack Inn in Fawcett Street, Fishergate, dating from the 1930s.

At the time of the image, Gladys Darch was the tenant.

The restaurant in the middle of the photograph is now the popular Indian eatery, The Garden of India.
