HERE are 5 fantastic old pictures of historic York gems, in gloomier times. All these images show Bedern Hall or Chapel, before or during restoration.
This is part of a series of galleries featuring photographs from our archives, hundreds of which have been digitised for the first time. For more old pictures and stories, see our history section.
