Warehouse Wednesday: Woodsmill Quay

Woodsmill Quay

I can't go to York without admiring Woodsmill Quay. Other than being built in the 19th century, the internet seems light on history, or even old photos. A show of the building restoration that doesn't show much being all I can find. 

Still, it has potential as a model. I'd add some tracks along the quayside (ignoring the regular flooding) to make things a bit more interesting.

It is a shame the cranes have gone https://www.yorkpress.co.uk/news/10086603.river-ouse-crane-at-queens-staith-could-be-demolished/

The cranes were still there last weekend when I took the photo. I can't find a change of mind news story, however, so they may still be under threat.
