    They have a Castle I believe.
    It has a chequered history.
    I believe the entire Jewish population of the area was rounded up and massacred there around 700 or 800 years ago.

    It was a dark chapter for sure, and not one that sits well in the 'good news' thread.
    But of interest to those with a liking for Medieval history.
    Sadly such things went on all over Europe in the dark ages. England was no exception.

    A shame you have not visited Whitby, I have a mate that goes there and says it is lovely.

    York is very nice as well of course!

    York is a fantastic city. The Minster, Clifford's Tower, Jorvik museum, Dick Turpin's grave, the real Stamford Bridge, Bootham Crescent and myriad restaurants and cafes. I have a week in York every other year.

    Whitby is a gorgeous place. The cod and chips are unrivalled.

    I've heard on the radio that Phil Parkinson's face doesn't fit at Wrexham anymore.

    What a disgrace.
    I suppose they'll hire a showbiz manager now. Shrek maybe? <monster>
    With any luck that will see them relegated for sure, and their Disney+ series cancelled.

    Parky has done a fantastic job.

    There is no guarantee that money brings success.
