York Castle Museum

This is a museum of everyday life with recreated Victorian and Edwardian streets. Everything is here in fine detail, not only in the street layouts but also in the interiors of individual homes. This is life as it was lived over the last many years. Notice the total lack of modern conveniences and how they managed to survive. Visitors can also see the cell where Dick Turpin was held before his execution. There is a shop and a period tea room as well in the museum.
