Chunky Scoria Bricks at an undisclosed, secret riverside location in York. With my hand for scale and a photo of a nearby normal sized brick for comparison. We have chosen not to disclose the location as we have heard too many stories of Instagram influencers ruining perfect sites by sending millions of their followers to overwhelm it. We vow never to do that. Thank you for your understanding. That of York is getting more complete by the day.

Horses on The Knavesmire preparing to compete in a tradition that goes back hundreds of years. Of course, if we were fully keeping up with tradition, after the race the spectators would have wandered across to The Three Legged Mare on Tyburn to have a jolly time watching a hanging

YHH are pretty sure that we would never have attended a public ex*****on but given the sheer number of people who did, maybe we shouldn't be so certain.
