Year: 2018

Please help The Friends of York Walls to pay for the installation of electrical sockets and new lighting inside Fishergate Postern Tower, a part of  York’s famous City Walls.  Please donate anything, however small, via the Justgiving Link Here  and help us to improve the facilities inside the tower.  Thank you!

The Friends of York Walls have recently leased the tower from the City of York Council;  and display information there about the tower and the history of York’s City Walls.  Entry to the tower is free on our open days, but individual visits can be arranged for a donation. Currently we need money for internal electrical installations, lighting, and roof repairs.  With electricity and lighting inside the tower we can then improve our informative and historical displays and enhance the visitor experience.

For FPT OPEN DAYS see the list HERE

Fishergate Postern Tower,
at the end of Piccadilly, is a 4 storey stone tower built around 1504 and has a quirky narrow spiral staircase linking the interesting rooms and with views of the roof structure. The FPT openings will be staffed by Friends of York Walls volunteers who will be on hand to help, and to tell you about the history of the tower. You can also learn about plans for the future of the tower and other 2018 planned activities.

Copies of the FoYW book “A Walking Guide to York’s City Walls” will be on sale. You can also “Sponsor a Stone” on either the West Wall or the North Wall to raise funds for the restoration of and repairs to the tower.

We need more volunteers and also people to join the Management Committee and Trustees.  If you are interested please email us at friendsofyorkwalls@gmail.com
