The English city of York has kept its ancient entrance
Some buildings make us travel in time just by staring at them. It’s wild to think many were created to serve a specific purpose that is no longer relevant. For instance, city entrances used to be the only way to access a place.
Entrances had to be very solid to resist potential attacks. They, too, had to be tall for guards to see who was approaching the city. Right now, you can get to a place by different access points, but it’s nice to see how York kept this historic building.
