Here’s a chance to see one of York’s main streets as it used to be.

But can you spot what these old shops are today?

Goodramgate has been a key city street for centuries. Its name is believed to have come from the Viking king Guthrum who ruled from York in the 9th century.

Present day Goodramgate is a bustling street of shops, cafes and restaurants in the glorious shadow of York Minster. But can you recognise what it used to look like?

Have a guess, then flip the card to see if you were right!
