Discover the people and places that make York England unique
York history dates back to AD71 when the Romans arrived here
And luckily for us, modern people, like those at York Archaeological Trust, have provided us with a wealth of information about the city. Many books have been written about York history and I've read most of them and over the coming weeks and months I will be using this part of the YorkExplorer.com site to tell you about the people and places I've found most interesting in the hope that you too will enjoy discovering about the history of York.
