YORK is an ever-changing city despite its rich history and long-standing landmarks.

Over the years it has witnessed many changes - and lost many things held dear by Press readers.

So when we asked you "If you could bring one thing back to York, what would it be?" - we were not surprised by a cascade of answers.

Everything from Waterworld and Woolworths, to the Willow and the Wimpy was mentioned by scores of followers of The Press on Facebook.

We had so many replies that we have had to split this article into two parts!

We've dipped into some of the replies - see if you agree with them.

Here are the top 9 things Press readers would bring back to York (part one):
