A computer generated image of what the approach to the revamped front of the railway station will look like Can someone from the council explain why we have all these different organisations in the city, most composed of York citizens with wide experience, who at the end of the day are just dismissed without a second thought? I wondered this yet again when I read the full page spread about the railway station revamp, and of course the demolition of Queen Street Bridge (Station revamp set got go ahead, January 1). The impressions of what it will look like seem to me to be from a different city than the one I happen to live in. Would it not have been more sense to access along the back of the council offices and turn under the bar walls, instead of removing the bridge and putting more traffic on to one road?

But many York pubs are long gone - never to return. Recently, we wrote about 10 pubs we all miss - and asked readers to share which locals they are sad to see disappear. We were inundated with responses - so here s a little trip down memory lane, recalling some of our favourite pubs of yesteryear. Many replies were posted in our new nostalgia social media group, Why We Love York - Memories, on Facebook. If you would like to join the group click here - we d love to see your photos and hear your stories of York. Garry Moody kicked us off with a whopper of a list: Market Tavern, Londesboro, Half Moon, Crown, Tiger, Spotted Cow, Lord Nelson, Cattle Market, Frog Hall, John Bull, Cygnet.
