RECOGNISE this corner of York? Yes, it looks quite different today.
And, in fact, this corner of our city is about to undergo another transformation as building work is taking place on this site to create new student housing.
This photo shows the corner of Blue Bridge Lane in Fishergate - opposite the primary school - back in 1993.

You will see shops and the offices of Shepherd Construction above - and we are sharing it today with permission from Fishergate, Fulford and Heslington Local History Society which have a fascinating wealth of information about the local area on their website: ffhyork.weebly.com.
The photo was taken shortly before demolition in 1993.
A new Mecca Bingo hall and car park were built on that corner - all of which is now being knocked down to make way for student accommodation.
