08. THIS IS YORK

This is York by Gordon Stanley Calvert (1982)

08. THIS IS YORK

My late father, Gordon Stanley Calvert (1929-96) worked in the British Rail offices at York during the early 1980s. ​A keen photographer, with an interest in local history, Gordon would spend his lunch hours wandering the streets of York, taking photographs of buildings and other notable artefacts and researching their story. He collected together 100 of his best photographs and created a slide show with a commentary that he recorded on cassette tape. Those photographs and a transcript of the accompanying narrative that Gordon wrote are collected together in this document.
