#POLITETOURIST #LADYBRIGANTE

The wild Moors or the beautiful Dales? Or a delicious Yorkshire Pudding. To enjoying a mug of strong tea with a divine 'Fat Rascal'. ‘River is time in water, As it came, As the river waters have flowed through the ancient City of York for millenia; another death from drowning is far from unusual. The Canadian author Lucy Maud Montgomery once mused that her life was "a perfect graveyard of buried hopes." If the tales from the annals of Victorian crime pique your curious mind but an evening walk through the shadowy streets of York is not possible - fret ye not! ''Dear and honoured father, 'And ghosts return.. Although now much changed, Paver Lane in the Walmgate area of York enjoyed a notorious reputation throughout the Victorian era as an array of rather colourful characters jostled for space! The Polite Tourist offers true crime walks through Victorian history. Through York, Scarboro' and beyond.
