This is the third volume in a unique and exciting series on the modern
history of York. With the dawning of the 1970s the city underwent
seismic changes that saw it become one of Europe's foremost historical
and cultural cities. Tourism had come to stay, with such major events as
the pedestrianisation of Stonegate, the opening of the world-famous
National Railway Museum, the momentous excavations in Coppergate, which
paved the way for the celebrated Jorvik Viking Centre, and the opening
of the Minster undercroft to the public. Join Paul Chrystal as he
describes and depicts all of these and many more fascinating details
about York during this pivotal decade in the city's splendid history.
