THERE is a timeless quality about a black and white photograph.

A historic city like York lends itself to being captured in two tone.

And that is exactly what members of our Press Camera Club have been doing during the month of March.

Each month we set a new challenge to our members - a theme for them to get stuck into.

And they never disappoint.

We hope you enjoy this set of photos. We have been sharing a lot of them in recent weeks online and in the pages of The Press.

But this set of seven photos are our absolute favourites.

In terms of picking a winner, it was a tough call.

But we have settled on this fantastic shot by Michelle Sorrell which shows the thronging crowds of shoppers in Petergate with the Minster looming large ahead of them.

It is a classic image of York, but it captures the old and the new of city - the historic centre reborn as a popular tourist destination.

Well done Michelle, who wins a £50 cash prize.
