GLOBAL TREASURE: But when will York get the international recognition it deserves by being awarded World Heritage status, asks Derek Reed? This picture of the York skyline was take from the Grand HotelPicture: Frank Dwyer
THE headline to A V Martin’s excellent lead letter on February 22 described the Guildhall as a ‘global treasure’.
Mr Martin actually described York itself in those terms when he wrote about the ‘public-spirited citizens who made our city the global treasure that it is today’.
When will this city receive due acknowledgement and recognition of its standing as a ‘global treasure’ by receiving the accolade of World Heritage status? Then it really will have arrived.
