Awesome museum is awesome Part 3
Sep. 11th, 2012 07:43 pmI'm so sorry it's taken me so long to get round to posting the third and final part of my trip to the York Castle Museum, but I was really, really ill about a week/two weeks ago, and still haven't fully recovered: I still get uncomfortable sitting for long periods, and I'm still very tired and lacking in energy. However, I'm here now, so here we go.
The first two parts of this write up are about the North building, and this one will cover the South building. Again, there is lots to see and do, but we didn't spend so long in this buildign because of the time when we got into it. The first lot of displays are all to do with the Civil War and the battles around York. I'm sure it's very interesting to those who are interested in this period of English history, but the Civil War and resulting Republic have always left me cold. Maybe it's because executing a monarch is not a very English thing to do, coupled with how miserable the Republic was, but I've never cared for it, and so I didn't take any pictures.
