No. 27 Edwin Ridsdale Tate (1862 – 1922) “Fishergate Postern Tower” 1910
Rare original first edition of Ridsdale Tate’s “Quaint and Historic York: in and around the Old City” (1906).
The Artist:
Edwin Ridsdale Tate was born in York, and then practised as an architect, artist and antiquarian. He designed the Tempest Anderson Hall.
FoYW’s note:
This is a view of Fishergate Postern Tower and the walled city from the nearby corner tower in the city walls. This view is changed today by new housing, trees and grass in the right hand foreground while much of the background, including the Minster, is now hidden by the Postern Gate pub and other modern building along Piccadilly. The city walls and Postern Tower, however, seem unchanged.
