York Castle Museum

The York Castle Museum was a special place. Unlike almost every other place we visited, this museum celebrated the common person. The pictures I took were mainly from the section showing representative rooms from different periods, but the coverage of instrument of daily life, from agricultural implements to laundry equipment was fascinating. What didn't come out were pictures of a magnificent Victorian-era street scene replete with a couple of dozen store-fronts. (It was too dark, even with the flash.) The women working in the stores (in costume), were particularly engaging. On our way out, we ran into the ice cream truck.
