We've renewed our display panel at @theslipinnyork.bsky.social in Clementhorpe, #York, as the history of shipbuilding and other industries nearby is of great interest to customers. There's a new inn sign too, as the old sign was very misleading www.clementshallhistorygroup.org.uk/blog/echoes-...

We spoke in favour of the new Toppings York bookshop tonight at 1 Museum St, and I'm delighted to say that the Planning Committee voted unanimously against the officer recommendation to refuse it. They have now referred it back for officer approval.
