The Shambles is a street in York that dates from medieval times - it's mentioned in the Domesday Book which makes it at least 900 years old. The buildings shown here date from the 1400's. The unique thing about them is how each story hangs out further than the one below until the buildings on the two sides of the street nearly touch. Can anyone guess why? This street is so famous it has its own website.
