Who am I?

I was founded by the Romans in 71 AD.

I am at the confluence of the Rivers Ouse and Foss.

In the Middle Ages, I grew as a major wool trading centre.

In the 19th Century I became a hub of the British railway network and a confectionery manufacturing centre.

I am the traditional county town of a historic county that has a pudding made of eggs flour and milk named after it.

If you said York you would be right! I would also accept Eboracum.

Below on the way to York through the Dales we saw many little pubs like the Happy Heifer, Golden Fleece, Green Dragon, White Stag, Porky Pig, Daffy Duck, Hammer and Chisel blah blah  blah… inventive lot these pub owners…. but then I guess it’s not all beer and skittles, hang on , what a great name for a pub!

By the way, York was founded by the Romans as Eboracum in 71 AD.

That was fun wasn’t it. Now go and knock yourself up a Yorkshire Pudding.
