Great grate
WITH reference to a question last week regarding Walmgate Bar portcullis defence grating being in such marvellous condition (Letters, September 10).
The writer said they do not have any knowledge of another one like this. Well, to my memory Bootham Bar is still able to be raised up and down. Another wonderful thing in York.
I last saw it being tested in 1997, when I was a guide around the city. Happy days and memories.
