Merchant Adventurers' Hall - ExteriorThe exterior of the Merchant Adventurers' Hall is quite striking, showcasing an excellent example of medieval half-timbering. The area around the hall was for many years almost submerged beneath a clutter of timber buildings. These were cleared around 1900, and since WWI it has been used as a Garden of Rest for the people of York. The lower section of the building contains some of the earliest brickwork in the city; possibly the first example of the use of bricks for major building projects in York since the departure of the Romans. click on an image to see a larger version Related:
