This gallery showcases a remarkable collection of photos from our archives.
In 1956, one of our photographers took to the skies over York, and captured these aerial photos. They were spectacular and unusual then, and they remain fascinating now, more than 60 years on.
Notable changes to look out for include the land around the carriageworks site in Holgate, and the buildings around Walmgate.
For thousands more old photos of York, see this list of galleries.
