I didn’t manage to cosplay Richard iii (the version of Richard in Requiem of the Rose King) to pay homage upon the place his head was displayed as a rebel and traitor within his own home, York, fuelled with obscene rumours to the point where it was said he was in his parents womb for 2 years and a demonic monster over his body, and it was believed, over trying to rule during the War of the Roses.

Amongst downfalls, rumours are spread to ready a more secure a more loved position and angelic assumed appearance for the ones taking over as not to allow for a mutiny essentially and uproar against the new ones replacing them to take over, and cover ups to present a new line as Good, and only Good for the people.

It is said he obviously had his wrongs, but comparably it was better to a lot during that time of who was veering for power.

There’s a lot of false poison placed as fact, much which was never proved, and much which was just obvious bull now we look at it these days, and this was done to remove the return of certain families during War which threatened those who wanted to have their status.

The utmost end point is to secure a throne, and people will do absolutely anything.

This place is known as the Micklegate Bar, many people have passed beneath it and many heads have been presented upon it, it is the southern entrance to York.

I made it here, and I’m glad. A rich piece of history of a truly awful time upon these islands.

Our flag unicorn means death A unicorn, representing Death, chases a man up the Tree of Life, but the mice of Night and Day are gnawing through the trunk as a dragon's jaws open below...

From a collection of religious stories and travel tales owned at a Carthusian monastery in Lincolnshire and Yorkshire, judging from the northern dialect used. This image illustrates an excerpt from the story of St Barlaam and St Josephat-- which may have been inspired by stories about the young Buddha.

Origin: a Carthusian monastery in Lincolnshire or Yorkshire? Date: c. 1460-1500 Now British Library, Add MS 37049, f. 16v

Being a Sailor's wife could be tough

Being a Yorkshire Sailor's wife could be really complicated because it meant you had to abide by a few rules to keep your mate happy at sea. So she wasn't allowed to do wash the clothes on the day he sailed out because he might get washed off the ship. Walking after him and waving goodbye was also not a good idea because a wave could carry him into the sea and he could drown.

So it was safer for both of them - if she didn't want to lose her husband - if she stayed in the house and he just left without a word of goodbye or anything and then just came back and everything was fine.

Well, as I've often mentioned, superstition could have very strange rules.

A very private residence.

On this ancient site (York, England) traces have been found of Roman, Pagan and Christian Saxon occupation. The surviving 12th Century Norman Chapel belonged to St. Mary's Abbey throughout the middle ages.

Victims of the Black Death were buried here in 1349. Declared redundant in 1973 the building was restored as a private residence in 1981 with no public admittance allowed to the historic hall or grounds.

Iconic British actress Diana Dors, ‘the English Marilyn Monroe’, and 'Siren of Swindon’, was born Diana Mary Fluck, on October 23rd, 1931.

She enjoyed great success in British films, her first role in 1947, and later had a limited career under contract to RKO in Hollywood. In her later years she was a favourite on chat shows, and had character roles in a number of British films, including Steptoe and Son Ride Again, as well as guest turns in television programmes such as The Sweeney, The Two Ronnies, and Hammer House of Horror.

She passed away from cancer in 1984, at the age of 52.

This great clip is from her Yorkshire Television sitcom, Queenie's Castle (1970-72) in which, as the family matriarch, she unwisely confronts her son, 'Our Raymond', over having been seen at the pub with a 'right tarty blonde...'

A former School House, North Yorkshire, England.

I passed this building in 2021, liked it, snapped it.

Grade 2 listed. Built 1835. Served as a village school 1835-1934, then as the village hall but due to lack of use was sold by the church as a home in 2020 - more of our heritage lost.
