Shambles book

The Shambles is a historic street in York, England, featuring preserved medieval buildings, some dating to the 14th century. Running between Newgate in the north and Pavement in the south, the street is narrow, with many timber-framed buildings with jettied floors which overhang the street by several feet. It was once known as the "Great Flesh Shambles", a name reflecting its historical use as a butchers' street. The word shambles derives from Old English sċeamol, referring to vendors' or butchers' stalls. In 1885, thirty-one butchers' shops were located along the street, but none remain today.
