Weather followed by Ours to Keep Living on the Past
For the city of York 1984 was a year to remember. In May Prince Charles opened its newest attraction, the Jorvik Viking Centre. Two months later it nearly lost its oldest one when York Minster 's south transept was gutted by fire. The disaster shook the nation's belief in the durability of our great historic buildings.
This film, shot before and after the fire, looks at the problems of conserving the whole city within its medieval walls.
