Lockdown 2 in York: 10 eerie photos of an empty city

York is normally bustling to full, as tourists, visitors and locals compete for pavement space.

But not just now - amid our second lockdown.

We asked our Camera Club members to capture lockdown 2 - and here are some of their excellent photos.

Jonathan Allison submitted a few, including this one of the Everyman cinema.

A trip to the cinema - and going to the theatre - were a part of the 'normal' life 'bc' (before Covid) which many of us miss in the new normal.

Another of Jonathan's photos captures the stillness of the Shambles market. Although the food court is still open and many traders are still offering a takeaway service.

The city centre has been photographed in its eerie emptiness by many Camera Club members.

The near solitude of The Stonebow, looking up from the Hiscox building, is witnessed here in this photo by Richard Sparnenn - as well as all the magnificent reflections of the site.
