The "Yorkshire Chronicle," is a paper of independent
Liberal principles, and has a very large circulation
in the agricultural districts and in the city of York.
It was established about thirty years ago by Mr. John
Bell, as the EicJimond and Ripon Chronicle^ and though
Tinder a different proprietary at present, it still holds its first
position in the county. Some years ago it was brought to
York for the advantage of a more convenient centre, and it
has become a city as well as a country organ of opinion. It
is pubhshed every Saturday, at Id. The office is at No. 4,,
Castlegate.
TICINITY, AND PLACES OF INTEREST.
PEOMENADES.
The Esplanade runs along the right margin of the river
from Lendal Bridge to Clifton Scope, about one mile in
length. It is in places planted with trees, has seats here
and there, and forms a very pleasant promenade close
to the city. A boat-house of one of the rowing societies
is placed a short distance beyond the Scarborough railway
bridge.
The New Walk commences at St. George's Field, and
crossing the Blue Bridge, continues along the left bank
of the river, which is overshadowed by stately elms for
almost a mile. The trees were planted in 1733-4 by the
Corporation. Midway between the Blue Bridge and the
end of the Walk is a spring well, remarkable for its
clearness and certain medicinal properties. This is a
charming avenue, and is certainly the pleasantest promenade
the citizens possess. Proceeding onward across
the fields, and past the old mortuary (formerly parish)
church, we arri\^e at the village of Fulford.
Within easy walking distance from the city are the
