The sun sets on York’s first week in lockdown

What a strange, strange week.

Every day that has passed has brought some new historic moment, from unprecedented financial handouts to a mass round of applause for our NHS workers.

And York ended its first week of lockdown bathed in the spring sunset, with hardly a soul to be seen.

The roads were free of traffic. Only a few people were walking the streets for their state-sanctioned exercise, all observing the government separation guidelines.

These pictures, taken between 5pm and 6pm this evening (Friday 27 March) by our photographer following the social isolating rules, show the beauty of our city, even in such unprecedented times.
