By this statue of Constantine, which is outside York Minster, a temporary hand-written plaque replaces the missing original one of bronze. I found it interesting to note that the replacement is dated the day before I took these photos…

I like your photo of the statue Cherie… but i also enjoyed reading the history on the plaque that replaced the stolen one lol…great presentation….peter:)
The history is very interesting isn’t it?
The North of England leads the way in metal theft, CP.
There has a been a lot of it near to where I live recently. It must be a sign of the times.
Very interesting and your photo of Constantine is fantastic. Sorry they stole the sign though!
I found the text very interesting too. I don’t remember reading it the last time I was there. Maybe I should have paid more attention to the sign that has now gone missing!!
Great shot for this week’s theme. Shame about the stolen sign – so much of that with stolen bells, grave markers, fences – anything that can be melted down. SIGH
Have a super weekend.
Thanks
All that stealing does kind of make you sigh doesn’t it?
Ok…Thats a long time ago.
Coffee is on.
Yes a very long time ago
Nice take on the theme. Sad about the stolen plaque.
Thanks Suzy
That’s interesting that you saw it the day after. I checked my photo library & I’ve only got ones of Constantine himself.
I looked at my previous photos and I don’t have the original either!
