Blossom Street through time

A talk by Susan Major

Blossom St was renumbered around 1910, this building is now Sainsburys, on the corner of The Crescent

We're starting work on our next book project, this time about Blossom St. It's quite a short street, but it has much historical significance for York over many centuries. In this talk Susan will be highlighting some aspects, including the Bar Convent, the Odeon Buildings, some famous architects and well-known traders, such as Forsselius, Shearsmith's, Edwin Storey and the original York hams.
