Shambles, York, England - a photo on Flickriver

The Nutcracker Christmas Shop & The Shop That Must Not be Named ("Park your Broom" - Harry Potter themed).
Shambles is an old street in York, with overhanging timber-framed buildings, many from 1350-1475. It is often called Europe’s best preserved medieval shopping street.

It was once known as The Great Flesh Shambles, probably from the Anglo-Saxon Fleshammels (literally 'flesh-shelves'), the word for the shelves that butchers used to display their meat. As recently as 1872 twenty-five butchers' shops were located along the street, but now none remain. Although not explicitly named in the Domesday Book of 1086, Shambles has been identified through an entry which lists two butchers' stalls near the church of Saint Crux, York.
