All about York - by Jorvik.co.uk
Jorvik is a work in progress, I think it always will be but at the moment it's in the very early stages and things are a bit messy, so mind you don't trip and hurt yourself while you're looking around, I don't have insurance. The plan for this site is to cover all the wonderful history, architecture and stories that make York the great place it is today whether you are lucky enough to live there or get to visit every once in a while.Why Jorvik.co.uk
The word Jorvik is the ancient Viking name for York and as they have had so much input into how the City developed, evolved and also left so much history behind for us to find it seems like the perfect name for a site dedicated to the City they had so much influence over.What will be on Jorvik?
Today York is a popular tourist destination, especially with people who want to know about the City, how it was created, how it has changed and developed over time and see some of the buildings, street and points of interest that have stood the test of time and give a very real look at the Historic York. Jorvik.co.uk isn't (or won't be) just about history. It's everything about the City, the buildings, festivals, events, parks, rivers, everything that will be of interest to someone.Is it nearly ready yet?
There is only me building this site so it will take a while but hopefully I'll have something semi-interesting and part-workable for you in the near future so keep watching and checking back. In the meantime if you have any questions, want to get in touch or have some suggestions on stuff I should add to the site then please get in touch.
