Save for the Minster, the most interesting building in York is St Mary's Benedictine Abbey, founded in 1078. The building was put up in the 14th-15th c. Hill & Adamson were in York to photograph the delegates to the BAAS convention. This negative was not waxed but was retouched in pencil. It is inscribed in pencil "St Mary's Abbey" and "Sept 30/44" and "u.44" and "D7".
